1st snow of the season
It’s midnight, and I’m off to Tokyo in 7 hours!!! I’m so busy and nervous now, but I can’t sleep. I’ve just finished packing and will be off to be soon. If I get a chance, I’ll be posing some photos from the event. My first ever presentation is on Saturday evening, 6pm Tokyo time (that’s 5 am EST). My slides aren’t even done, but I’m not too worried about that. I’ll have time tomorrow to finish it up.
Before I go to bed, we had some good news today: it snowed for the 1st time this season! This is the earliest I can ever remember is snowing here. We NEVER get a dump in November. Way cool! I hope this year makes up for last year, snow-wise.

Yeah, it was more of a symbolic dusting, a simple foreshadowing of what’s to come (I hope!). There’s nothing now, of course. It all melted in a few hours. What’s it like in Ithaca, DT?
