back in nyc and sick as a dog

i got home yesterday from eight days in atlanta where i had many many work things to do. all went smoothly (except, of course for the one talk where the faculty member escorting the guy giving the lecture, escorted him to the WRONG ROOM- needless to say me and 55 people who came to see the lecture had to move downstairs to the wrong room).

while in atlanta i got my hair cut (will post pics later when i don't have horrendous bedhead), spent lots of time with sarah, kim, dawn, gator, bailey, angie, elin, jes's folks and various other people. while there i also got what i thought was a bad case of allergies to the ridiculous pollen, but what i am thinking now is really just a bad cold. my head aches, my nose is running, my chest hurts and i feel like i have been hit by a truck. once i get out of this haze, i will post more about my time in the warm and lovely atl.
