today i was the only person working on my floor again. it was > fun. i really hate the hilton for recording our conference sessions on cassette tapes. it makes everything a real pain in the ass. hey, want to hear my voice? Go here and listen to the intro/outro on the last four podcasts. wowie, SOMEBODY GET ME A JOB AT NPR! no, don't, i love my job. well...actually, if you know someone at NPR, get me a job there. okay? and i might leave my job that i love very much for it. you know...because it's NPR.

sometimes i wish i had been a physics teacher.

i'm flying to kansas city tomorrow...if i wake up in time.

yay.

i saw this today:

this is the baha'i temple, the only one in north america and one of seven temples in the world. it's in wilmette so it's only a twenty minute drive; i wish it was a little closer because it would be an amazing place to visit and meditate each day, but i'm glad i'm close enough to go...ever.

...and then, later that night, we sat in a mexican restaurant in boystown and graded papers.
