In keeping with the theme of carpe diem, I've been saying yes to things I never would have before. For instance, I visited an iris farm with my advisor's wife. Although not something I would have said yes to in the past, I had a great time. The sky was beautiful. The irises were in fine form and I got a great dinner and time with my dog out of it. And so I made a deal with myself that I would start to say yes more than no. Because of this new philosophy, I just got invited to a Russian hot-pot party on Saturday. I have no idea what this will entail, but I'm up for it because the alternative is sitting at home with the dog, drinking cheap wine, playing tug-o-war and watching some awful movie.

Glacier Vacation
Hawaii Collecting trip
Dog sitting
Designing a humorous post-doc blog
Giving blood
Climbing a mountain
Preparing songs for an open mic night
Mountain biking
Warrior Race

And that's all I can remember right now.
