Battle of it's.

Well, tonight is my last night here in Berkeley, I have to get up early tomorrow morning and catch my flight back to Montana. *sigh* It's been a wonderful time, but now we have to get back down to work. We didn't do very much today, we just got up late, checked email and later on we returned an antenna which Bonnie bought. We were thinking about going ice skating, but in the end it didn't eventuate.

Currently the temperature in Bozeman is an interesting –25C, or –19F for those using an alternate temperature scale. I don't think it's gotten this cold in Australia since the last ice-age. It will be a bit of a shock to return, although apparently there isn't too much snow just yet.

I'm trying to get the high school student to an ACS conference (American Chemical Society) in March, my boss is a little uncertain, but if we can find some extra money he may be more amenable.

Well, I'm back in another airport lounge, this one is becoming somewhat familiar. We had to get up about 6 am to have enough time to hold each other for a while. Then she drove me to the BART station and I got on the train.
