** Whoops, I posted this in my dream blog instead, here it is reprinted... **
Yesterday was my dad's birthday, which was the first time in quite a long time that I've actually been home with them for it, which was pretty cool. We went out to dinner at Eno Vino, a latin/fusion-style tapas restaurant. Needless to say, the food was just tremendous and incredibly creative: cucumber-wrapped ahi tuna tartare, mushroom and duck foie gras double-ravioli, grilled bass in a phenomenal white-wine cream sauce, calamari fries that were like magnificent mozzarella sticks but with calamari instead of cheese. All of the flavors were wonderful, and none of the dishes I had really ever seen before.
Then this morning I headed out bright and early to catch my 640am flight to Austin via Chicago. I had planned to work on the 3-hour 2nd leg, but instead ended up chatting the entire way with a very nice man who is a high school earth science teacher and works in the American Meteorological Society Education Program. The flight absolutely flew by, he was such a friendly and curious guy.
I suppose networking can begin even before the conference does...
