I'm sitting at Peets in Portland, OR awaiting the Coast Starlight train that'll take my pretty lady and I down to Sacramento and then to Auburn to pick up her car. Consider my excitement this morning, Jan 1. 2010, that the Empire Builder actually sped from Mountain to Pacific timezones at the crucial period that I slept not only through one New Years Eve but two. The wonders of technology never cease to amaze. So, we'll be heading on to Cambria, CA, Kristin and I, where I'll begin conducting my research on the Ectomycorrhizal succession of a Monterey pine forest from the 3rd of Jan to Jan 17th. Will this be the beginning of the fruitful (sporocarpful) career in mycology I hope for; we'll see. Lots of travel in the next 2 weeks and I'll be settling back in Oxford, MS with Kristin by my side, at least for awhile. She's applying for some agroecology fellowships that might take her to the University of Minnesota for her PhD or...study at Penn State under arbuscular mycorrhizologist Roger Koide which would be equally great.
