lots of little updates

1) Australian open has been awesome with DVR - I can't wait for the finals, go Serena!
2) I'm close to settling in a new lab, just a few more weeks before the final decision.
3) I'm going to Las Vegas next week for an Ultimate Frisbee tournament - and we're going to play St. Olaf. I'm so pumped!
4) North Carolina is already shutting down with the threat of a winter storm tomorrow. I'm not going to hold my breath.
5) Last night, Mira was really hyper and she ran from the other side of the apartment into the office, leaped onto the desk, landed on papers and slid off the back between the desk and the wall. Then she got stuck and looked at me like what just happened? Kitties are so funny :). By the way - I believe her second "birthday" is today. We picked her up from the shelter one year ago and declared that to be her birthday.
