tonight, i was the envy of teenage girls throughout boston

things have been very hectic lately.
last week, we spent monday through wednesday in new york, sneaking in 2 days of the us open qualifying. (photos forthcoming)
this past weekend, we backpacked through the white mountains (the longest 6-mile hike of my life) and slept on awesome swiss-family-robinson platforms on the side of mount libery (photos also forthcoming).
this evening, christina went in to give notice to her employers that she was quitting her job. she walked out with 2 free tickets to the sheryl crow / john mayer concert tonight, won in some interdepartmental e-mail giveaway. evidently, choosing to leave the business world == good karma.
i was happy to go to the show, cheesy as it sounded. as much as i’d like to be a hipster/indie-music snob, i really can’t help but find most pop music to be fun to listen to. makes me want to dance.
sure enough, the show was fun. (photos not forthcoming, thanks to draconian tweeter center rules.) i had forgotten how many catchy songs sheryl crow has written. and, john mayer can really make sweet epileptic-like love to his guitar. that heartthrob: we were surrounded by teenage girls; my favorite set of handwritten shirts read, “john, will you mayer me?”
must find time + focus to do science! we’re so close to doing some really awesome work. we’re going to explain how life came about! ahhh!
and perhaps just as importantly, must finally find time to fix the theme of this blog. this website could look so much better.
