Well, it’s been a week of 12 hour days, with things going less than well in the lab, on the opposite side of the country from where I would prefer to be, in the cold with daily rain. But, I don’t feel particularly badly about it as a whole. The hotel was in a mall-like area with a lot of restaurants, so I could eat somewhere different every night within walking distance of the hotel. Not great places, being of the Corner Bakery, California Pizza Kitchen, Joe’s Crab Shack, generic Japanese-Thai variety, but certainly places to go and eat.

One thing comes to mind when I think of the trip, and that is driving around the DC area. Now, as I understand it, the LA area is supposed to be notorious for stressful driving, however, it was a relief to be back into that kind of traffic this afternoon. It’s traffic I can understand, on roads that have obvious names and ordinary exits. As opposed to signs which only list the direction I don’t want to go in, leading to roads with no label which only have a way to get over to the parallel road which has the actual exits every 18 miles or so. Keeping in mind that I’m not good at navigating at the best of times, but adding in darkness and other difficulties it really wasn’t all that surprising that I made the wise decision to take the only exit I could find that was not some sort of toll, and make my way back to Dulles to try again. Had I gone another mile before turning back, I would have been to where there is an exit to get me where I wanted to be.

On the plus side, Radar is home again now, so I’ll have some company. Once he settles down instead of being more crazy than usual. Probably I should do the same.
