A new camera and other news

Phyllis and BlakeWow, it has been over a month since my last blog post. I guess that is because I got rather busy in lab. We cooled down a sample mid-November and I was in lab every day until Christmas (except Thanksgiving). Hopefully all this work will produce some progress!

In the meantime there have been several holidays, during which good times were had by all. I got a new digital SLR (a Canon 30D) which has revived by interest in photography. Witness the proliferation of photos on my flickr account, if you don’t believe me. We also got some fun news right after Christmas: Kelly and Brandon are engaged! I think Brandon is a great guy, so I am very happy for my sister.

This also means that my wedding count for the next year will rival the six weddings I went to in 2007 (not including my own). I wonder how long this wedding season will continue? I still have a lot of unmarried friends…
