science getaway
a while ago, the bad astronomer plugged a science getaway thing at the c-lazy-u ranch in granby colorado. i signed up pretty much immediately. i didn't wait to ask the beautiful and talented alisa. cause last time something cool like this i hesitated and lost out on an eclipse cruise hosted by caltech. ah well. anywho. i didn't even realize that week would be my birthday. heh. oh well. it was great fun. so much fun crammed into the schedule that i didn't have time to blog last week. heh. the management noticed we weren't partaking of their other (for-charge add-on) activities. they offered free zip lines one afternoon. yeah yeah zip lines. whatever. we rode horses to somewhere interesting and smashed rocks with a geologist. it was *that* kind of vacation. thanks phil and marcella!
