Busy holiday !

Sunday, December 17th, 2006

For this year holiday season we have a very tight schedule …

We first go see sarah’s grandma in alabama then get to georgia to visit sarah’s dad for christmas then come back to alabama to spend a bit more time with grandma and then fly back to davis.
Wait, it doesn’t end there! the next day we leave for seattle on a short road trip with Nikola and Ceca for new years’ eve and stay at sarah’s mom. So basically for the next 2 weeks we are going to cover sarah’s family all over US !
Well, we are leaving tonight at 4:30 am to catch a plane at 6am to get to the south, and we have 2 stops Denver and DC, it’s kindda weird that the cheapest flight are the longest (aren’t we using more fuel??).

Anyway, 6am on a sunday that should be against the law…stupid airlines…

Things are moving on …

I have been working on that technical paper for a while now. There has been some long pauses along the way and “it” has been hanging in the back of my head all along. The problem with this paper is that it’s a “philosophy paper” meaning that I’m trying to convince a certain group of very competent people that I have a better way of looking at a particular controversial problem. On top of it everyone in that group of people, academic and industrial alike, are strongly emotionally attached to their way of thinking about that problem. After several revisions, I finally put the paper mostly together and the last round of internal lab revision is going on.

Hopefully I’ll submit soon !
