Thanksgiving '08

Home for the holidays! We went from Zak's house in Salisbury to his relative's house in Rehoboth on the eastern shore. His relatives are great (but so many new names severely taxed my short-term memory!), dinner was delicious and we got to go for a walk along the ocean. Plus, his parents hosted a bonfire, complete with hot dogs and s'mores.

Buffalo Philosphy of Physics Conference

Officially, it was my first philosophy grad conference, so I was very nervous to present my paper on statistical mechanics. Luckily, the Buffalo grad students were friendly and helpful and I ended up getting some really good feedback. Also, it was Zak and my first time to Niagara Falls, so the weekend doubled as a vacation for us. View more photos.
