These are actually two different topics. We were scheduled to travel to Madrid and Barcelona on Monday, but had to reschedule because of the weather in London where we were connecting. Now we are leaving Friday for a slightly longer trip to Barcelona only (through New York). That's the flexible and zen part.
In the meantime, got further along on grading, caught up on movies (Black Swan, King's Speech and Tron: Legacy), and worked in three short outdoor runs which would have been longer if different pieces of the lakefront path didn't resemble frozen Arctic tundra.
Today is our twentieth anniversary and we are off to dinner at Graham Elliot which now hold, among its many honors, a one star Michelin rating. More more importantly, it is located in the space where in a prior restaurant incarnation we held the very first colloquium dinner in April 2001!
(although in fairness, zen and flexible help on the marriage front also!).
Many, many congratulations. That's inspiring. And I don't the trip to Barcelona, which is envy-invoking.
