This month’s travel has been very hectic. Shortly after the DC trip, I flew to La Jolla for a day to present my work at Scripps for the Alcon Research Institute Young Investigator Award symposium. Luckily, the flight was short, and my Global Entry membership arrived just in time to facilitate airport security. The company also helped make things easy by arranging for airport transfers to the hotel complete with black Mercedes and black-tie drivers. Dinner was generic fare, although I did enjoy rubbing elbows with leaders in the field. I returned home for less than 24 hours to spend time with my family and get some dim sum, baked goods, and groceries, before hitting the road again for my flight to Japan. We also broke out our new copy of Uncharted 4, where Nathan Drake’s newest adventure continues to wow us with action-packed cinematography and impressive voice-acting. While my hectic travel schedule will not be as exciting, I look forward to some novel dining experiences in the days ahead.
