TGIF! Yesterday, I finished up my visit in Binghamton, NY and hit the road after grabbing a bite to eat. I ended up in Springfield, MA--I got a great deal at the Marriott on Priceline, so I decided since I got in around 11pm last night and today was my "day off" I decided to sleep in. I should really quit calling it a "day off" and refer to it as a "undergraduate free day" since I have no meetings set up with undergrads.

This evening I am heading to Boston where I will meet up for dinner with Ben Swartz, the District Chief for District 1 (Maine, MIT, UConn, and Rhode Island). We have decided to go out to eat some seafood at one of Boston's famous seafood restaurants. Believe it or not, I have yet to eat any New England seafood, so I am definitely looking forward to this experience. Tomorrow I will be heading up to Maine with him. I'm looking forward to Maine, except I hear that Ernesto is going to be dumping rain on us all weekend. My visit to MIT next week will probably be filled with a week full of rain (if history repeats itself--it ALWAYS rains when I am in Boston).

I would write more, but I've got SO much to do and only 3 hours to do it in. We'll see how far I get!
