we live in the future!

I am currently writing while onboard a Virgin America flight from BOS to LAX, after an intense but enjoyable weekend in Boston. I paid a relatively measly sum for the internet, plugged my dying laptop into the AC outlet, and now have access to friends and loved ones!

Also, I just ordered a lot of complimentary drinks and waters from the touchscreen, which I've also been using for the last 2 hours to watch the Saints win the Superbowl over the Colts! Wow... this airline rox.

Had a great weekend, saw two of the most wonderful people I know joined in marriage. It was a really lovely ceremony and reception, lots of laughter and tears. I guess that's what happens when people have rich lives that positively impact so many others. They inspired me to also examine how my life can be better lived. I think the key might be to simply my life by cleaning out the extra things, while enriching the important things and expanding them to full capacity.

This coming week signals the dreaded/anticipated re-beginning of consistent lab work. Let's hope that I do not forget to stop and smell something aside from coffee.
