what happened to November?

It seems that November flew by. I was really busy but nothing significant happened and I feel like nothing significant was accomplished. blech. I'm sure I accomplished something...I finished the big/long/finicky lab work, but one of the last set failed which effectively wipes out my sense of accomplishment for getting 11 to work this go round ontop of the 12 that are already at the sequencing facility. another blech.



Thairo was home all month which was nice. He cleaned up the garden and made me coffee every morning-I'm sure he did other things but those two are the most important. He's in the middle of nowhere right now.



We're heading back to my native land for Christmas, so I think that I'll go pick him up from the middle of nowhere then we'll head to the homestead. There are lots of hotsprings in the middle of nowhere-perhaps my interest in driving an extra 10 hours to meet him in the middle of nowhere is increased by the potential for soaking.
