I had 10 days back in St. Louis
between two annual conferences, what a crazy
week it was: weather fluctuated from sunny skies and daytime highs of 78, to snow flurries and overnight lows of 31; I fought to recover from an awful 36 hours of food poisoning (or post-travel yuckies); and I felt like three weeks of tasks at work had been compressed into one. But I did my best to make it all worthwhile.
 |
| My first time eating a full meal at a restaurant counter inside a grocery store (thanks, Melanie, for introducing me to the "upscale" Schnucks) - thankfully, my appetite was back! |
 |
| Even the lighting at the coffee bar in this Schnucks was cute. |
 |
| At the Missouri History Museum... |
 |
| ...Taking in some of the great exhibits before the main event... |
 |
| ...Getting VIP treatment in the audience (it helps knowing the right people!)... |
 |
| Hearing Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a great work of science writing that is about so much more than just science, and getting my copy personalized. (Thanks, Melanie, again!) |
Yoga class, work tasks getting done, laundry done and the bags are packed for another conference trip: checking off that list and getting it done. It's been a good
in-between week!
