Miscellaneous Pics from Winter Days...

Getting into the swing of the semester. Teaching non-major's Bio in the morning, then whirling around to teach upper level Endocrinology in the afternoon makes me feel a little schizophrenic, but I love the different audiences. In the meantime, when I'm not pretending to be professional, have been entertaining myself with the dogs, yoga & pilates DVDs (went a class with about 40 lithe and limber 20y.o. athletes and decided I had a permanent date with my DVD player), climbing gym, and a standing Joss Whedon night dates with friends (Buffy, Firefly, and anticipating Dollhouse)... I know. I live right up there on the edge with this outrageous lifestyle of mine.

Met up with Letty, who was in NYC in between the inauguration and her return to Brazil. Halfway between us was the town of Delaware Water Gap, so we each drove for 1.5hrs for lunch and a walk in the woods... I love/miss my old friends.

Letty, Misha & I vying for the camera in Delaware Water Gap.

The Water Gap diner. Where they don't serve reubens no matter what the menu says.

My 'second family'. They pretty much adopted me, to my deep gratitude. I just about have my name engraved on one of their couch cushions. And they usually just plan on feeding me a few times a week... The girls have introduced me to "Veggie Tales" and now I am singing love songs to cheeseburgers.

Parting shot - my real source of sanity/happiness these last few months....
