I’m travelling for a business meeting this week.  I will be back late Friday, although given my usual proclivities I probably won’t post again until the 15th.

Unless there is a change of plans, this will be my last business trip of the year, for which I am grateful (there was some talk about a meeting in Minnesota, but I’m hoping that one doesn’t come back up again until the spring).  Something about travelling for work just wears you down.  Between being packed into a closed environment on the airplane, the dry hotel rooms, and the time changes (this time I’ll be in Connecticut), I usually pick up some kind of bug that hits me on Thursday or Friday.  Maybe I should start travelling with a mask (and lobbying hotels to put humidifiers in the rooms).
