Hotel Oregon-ia

We have mirrors on the ceiling, but there's no pink champagne on ice.

I also am not sure if we're just prisoners of our own device.

(Well, just prisoners of our two small children, which means we don't get to see if the mirror on the ceiling really enhances the experience or not.)

It reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Bart & Lisa follow their parents around all across the country (like in Catch Me if You Can), trying to ruin their fun night together. Good luck!

Living with ideals

The first thing on my agenda in Davis was a lunch with some of the current graduate students. One of them asked me a question about my last name and my heritage, to which I replied that it was my husband's last name. That got me some fairly strange looks. Then there was the fact that I didn't order coffee after lunch with all of them.

I lived in Utah for so long that I became very comfortable in not having people think some of the things I do are strange. It was challenging this week to be back in an area where people questioned my choices and I had to explain "I'm a Mormon" (yeah, I kno
