trip East?

So, I just got an e-mail with an offer of partial funding for John Morgan's birthday conference at Columbia. This is pretty cool, because if my advisor ever finishes WRITING his paper with Morgan I get to extend it. (OK, and automate computations of topological invariants. I like topology, though. I even like programming in small doses.) But also, it is a trip to New York! I can see my sister and maybe meet her boyfriend. And lots of other East Coast people :)

[Yes, I am still playing the same game.]

Yeah, well, I've found that it sure doesn't hurt that it's often a) cheaper and b) faster to travel from place to place within Europe than it is to travel from place to place within the U.S.

I'd never picked up on the "e-mail style" of my entries until you mentioned it, but you're right - I started the LJ in part because then I didn't have to send copies of the same email to lots of different people, because I always feel like a cad doing that, but I still approach LJ posts as if they were open-addressed emails.

And they actually run trains-- it looks like I'm skipping my audit Monday to come back from my parents', since Amtrak was sold out again, and my last Greyhound experience was a bit too exciting.
