Travel troubles to start the two weeks of OII. First, we had to sit on the tarmac in Madison for an hour, just moments from taking off, because of "wind shear" in Chicago grounding all planes in and out. Luckily, I didn't miss my connection to Boston because some other weather had delayed that plane by 35 minutes.

Ridiculously, I managed to do exactly what I did last time I visited Boston -- take an immediate wrong turn and get lost for an hour, helped along by the fact that there are multiple streets with the same name. Am I going the right way on Mass Ave? Sure, there's Cambridge St!

No AC or fans in the room, and it's humid as all hell, but I brought enough clothes that I can shower several times a day if I feel like it.
