Almost finished...

If I could spend my days in Auburn and my nights and all but Fall weekends in New Orleans, I'd be so happy.  Learning new things and talking to people about mathematics, modeling and creative ideas is thrilling to me and I expect to miss that in New Orleans.  But, I miss my family and friends in the early mornings, evenings and most weekends and that actually trumps my intellectual pursuits.  I'm ready to run/walk with Susan in the early morning and spend evenings and weekends with Allan, all of our friends and my children.  I'll be finished on Monday...
