Simmons, Crazed Turkeys, and a No-No THANK YOU! :-)

This afternoon I'm off to Boston for the Simmons Summer Institute! I didn't sleep at all last night, which is always the case before I speak somewhere. I am a nervous WRECK. I wonder if I will ever get used to this. I'm usually OK once I get going, but the anticipation leading up to my presentations nearly does me in. *packs paper bag to breathe in*

Money is a bit tight these days so this year, Peter and E are staying home and I am staying in a dorm. In fact, it's old Evans Hall which is the dorm
