Regresa

My team is back! Started out the final day of this long week with a couple of primo eggs. Spent the morning goofing around, reading a lot of news and cleaning up the office. Went coffeebreaking at 11:00am and soon after Amanda returned from Mexico and I got to hear epic tales of famous scientists.

Since we now have the menu posted at the comedor it was nice to look forward to a day of quesadillas and pizza for dinner. The afternoon was devoted to catching up with Amanda and Debra, who arrived shortly thereafter. Coffeebreaked again at 4:00pm and led that up to shortly before dinner.

Time to interject this blog with a great quote from this afternoon. “I saw a scarlet macaw…but it was in someone’s backyard in a cage.” That was the highlight of Debra describing her weeklong trip through the backwoods of the big Nic. Gamecasted the Yanks’ rout of the D’Rays and afterwards giddily watched the highlight reel about three times.

After a mosquito-y and pizza-fueled dinner Karen and I watched the Victoria Beckham: Coming to America special on NBC. Probably the best reality TV I’ve watched in a long time, but then again I haven’t seen Shaq’s Big Challenge. Needless to say the show was major.

Heading out to the field with Team Baby Trees in the morning to do the seedling mapping; only two more days left of that. Hopefully I can get in the good share of my remaining fieldwork sometime in the next seven days. Looking forward to the Red Sox on ESPN tomorrow along with the CNN/YouTube Democratic Debate. Until tomorrow…
