musings from the lab

Just the deep thoughts which arise from spending long hours in the lab, field, office, greenhouse, and classroom.

Labor Day Weekend was a great time to spend in the outdoors (both underwater and above it in the canoe) and enjoy the travelers from B-town. I also saw my roommate that I never had. It was a disappointment to have Ash leave for Illinois the week before I moved to Manhattan. But I am really happy for him and his opportunities out East.

Last weekend brought my future into sharper focus. I’m 12 hours from my home(town). From here on out, I’ll be home about 4 times a year. Period. Just tonight my sis asked if I will be coming home for Thanksgiving—like I have an option!! Thanksgiving is not for another 2 ½ months. Until then I’m stuck in a state that has red brick roads (at least they’re not yellow!) maybe not stuck, but definitely committed for a long time to come. I Love You, Mom!!

PS. Come see the red brick roads in downtown Manhattan

I can sympathize. My first 2.5 years in KS, my parents were still in PA. I got home at spring break, maybe Christmas (or they came here), and maybe for a bit in summer.
But at least most of my siblings have been in KC since before I was here.

I'll tell ya--I did a LOT of e-mailing! :)

Kellan, you already know this (hopefully) but we're very excited that you're here! (even if our streets aren't paved with yellow brick)

Kellen,
I am glad I came back even though I didnt want to and I'm glad that you are here. It has been so fun getting to know you and yes, i still struggle with the brick streets - mostly because i think my car is going to fall apart from all the shaking:)

Hey There....

Looks like the jeep was loaded down pretty good there:)

Don't forget bro, I'm 12 hours the other way from Home... Even though I can surf on the weekends:) Hopefully we'll go out tomorrow morning! Ophelia totally missed us... we got nothing from it. Kinda boring:(

Take care bro!
