I am sitting here in the Omaha airport, a hotbed of family travel on a Saturday morning, awaiting my flight to New Orleans and Experimental Biology. I'm going a day later than usual because the Nebraska Kidney Association's fundraiser, Kidney Cruise, was last night. We had a great time and raised money for a good cause.

I have been catching up on my blogs, and, once again, the goddess is providing spot-on advice for science travel. Head on over to Dr. Isis and heed her wisdom. She also knows shoes.

It's about time I head over to my gate (only about 10 feet from the snackbar where I'm writing this update), but I can't see if the aircraft has arrived yet. See you in Nawlins!
