We took turns playing single parents with each attending our respective conferences this month. With my wife on Amelia Island, Westley and I compared noodles from Sit Lo and Lollibowl, impressed the clerk at Akiba HQ with his gundam knowledge, and sailed through submarine titles like the Hunt for Red October and U571. Listening to Planet Money episodes on board games inspired us to try Catan, but luck outweighed skill in our first playthrough, leaving Westley more frustrated than entertained. Melody and I swapped places on MLK weekend as I took off for Kona to attend Hawaiian Eye, with a nice upgrade thanks to my new platinum status on United. After checking in, I crashed my friend Lejla’s family dinner with RegenXBio at Canoe House, then returned to the hotel to practice my talk. On Monday, I joined the Adverum team for breakfast loco moco before taking the stage to present the year 2 LUNA trial results. I took a short nap and swam at the hotel pool afterwards, then dined at a food truck event over crispy pork belly and tofu from Ho Jah and a kiwi smoothie from Hi Bao while connecting my cousin Steve and old friend Janie over their Africa connection. I watched a movie, worked on manuscripts, and attended faculty meeting rather than sleep aboard my red-eye home, which made my morning of primate imaging harder. I hope to rest and recover before my birthday next week.
