some travel lulls are brief, indeed

Having several days in a row wherein I’m not traveling has been good for me—I’ve actually been making progress transforming my PhD research into a paper, I’ve downloaded my most recent experiment and gotten it polished and ready to analyze with the microprobe on Tuesday, and I even made time to repair my trike, which had been damaged in shipping, so that I can ride it again, since the replacement wheel arrived when I was in Vienna for EGU.

However, this time it is only several days in a row—on Wednesday I’ve a meeting in Siena. I need to decide if I’m going to stay overnight and see something of the area, or simply day-trip (which would make for a long day, since it is a several hour train trip). Then I’ve only one more week to prepare for the trip to Norway for a meeting of our research group.
