Most of the reason that I wanted to go to the SRCD conference was really to get a partially subsidized trip to Boston, which was conveniently the location of the biennial conference this year. My evil plan might have worked better if a.) I didn't end up with a nasty cold and had more energy to actually get off my butt and call more of you Bostonians that I wanted to see and b.) if the conference wasn't so darn intellectually engaging and c.) if my department wasn't trying to recruit a new faculty member. But I was happy that I got to see some of you when I was there!
A special thanks to Sully for letting me crash at his place, picking me up at 7am at the airport, and dropping me off at the airport during half-time of a basketball game, not to mention providing a door-to-door morning shuttle service to the conference, etc..
Nugget would also like to say thank you for his/her new kickin' footwear!
Coming back to Boston really showed me how much I miss you guys though, and while I don't miss the cold at all (55 degrees is NOT shorts weather Sully!!), I really do miss Boston too! In fact, I even got Nugget a Red Sox onesie so Nugget will learn how cool Boston is too. However, don't get too excited - Lance has made it clear that the little one won't be sporting any Patriots attire.
