Vacation!

Tomorrow morning I leave for a week's vacation in North Carolina. Sara and I are joining ten friends in a great beach-house. I plan to read a lot, play volleyball, spend plenty of time in the ocean, drink lots of cocktails and do no physics at all. We academics don't take vacations often, so I'm really looking forward to this.

Since I still feel too new to blogging to pass things over to a guest blogger, I'm probably not going to post for the next nine days. I hope to make up for it when I get back. Next time I'm away for an extended period (China for two weeks in August) I think I'll try the guest blogger idea. I have plenty of good candidates in mind.
