Adventures in genetics. Thanks Mom!

Oh my heavens, what are we going to do with me?! Maybe you can see in the picture that I am, um, not yet completely packed. It is now May 22nd -- and those bleepity bleep bleep bleep reminders on my CrackBerry calendar have kindly (?) reminded me that I am leaving for New Orleans today. As if!

It's interesting --you know, what we take from our parents -- isn't it?? For instance, in the Nelson family, the slogan (trademark pending) is "we're leaving when we're supposed to be there", and for me, this seems to include packing. On the other hand, in the Pering family, so far as I can tell, things happen on time and people get packed before the wee hours of the morning...!

All I can think to say is oy vey, and that's not the right language or dialect. [Insert additional bleepity bleep bleep bleeps here]. Oh...and I better get to bed, lest it become time to leave for the airport and I find myself not having slept. Mmmmm....jetlag.....just imagine how much more lucid these posts will become as I make my way eastward.

A piu tarde!
