A great visit!

We’ve had a great couple of days. Some of the SC/CA folks (Randy, Sarah, Alison, and Joe) came in on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time to visit - not too hectic.

We managed to give California Joe another rite of passage into the South - Randy took him to get some Krystals. (If you don’t know about Krystals, click here  .)  Joe said he appreciated the experience, but said it was probably going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing for him.

Alison is going to be teaching an upper level course in invertebrate biology at the University of San Diego in the spring semester. This is the first post-doc job for the new PhD in Oceanography.

We had a nice quiet dinner and watched a lot of football. This morning, the folks headed back to the Atlanta airport and to SC.

Here are the photos of Alison, Joe, and Sarah.




=====================================================
Update: Carol was due to have her back surgery New Year’s morning. Unfortunately, there was some huge screw-up with the insurance company and, because of the holidays, the surgery been postponed for possibly two weeks. That’s two more weeks of pain and flat-on-the-back-in-the-bed. We’re hoping it won’t take that long.

I remember White Castle from Minnesota days. Never had one, however. They came across my radar after I stopped eating meat. Well, these probably aren't real meat, eh?
