Isn't part of the fun of going to conferences skipping out on a session and seeing something cool? There's just something about being bad like that that feels so very good.

Of course, I've only done one conference a year for the past few years, and I don't travel for my research (except for up some stairs or down some stairs in the same building where my office is).

I have gotten to live in some really neat places though. Some day we get to settle down.

I saw the Golden Gate bridge as I flew *out* of SF over it.

A drag not to be able to sightsee in SF, but the bay is really pretty from the air. At least there's that.

Expatinuk seems to be a Soviet Satellite in stationary orbit over the UK

Yes, on a beautiful clear early morning in winter. Probably got a better view than I would have on the ground.
