I have to go to Buffalo for the next two weeks for work. I'm actually looking forward to it as a nice change of pace instead of the everyday stuff at work. I have to admit that I'm also looking forward to sleeping in what I hope will be a better bed than ours!. Getting everything ready in a relatively short period of time has been a bit stressful,coupled with the fact that I haven't taught this particular material in two years, but it's pretty much like riding a bike. It'll come back to me pretty quickly.

The downside to the trip is that I was going to be away from the DH (devoted husband!), but since he has the time he's going to meet me up there for a few days this week. He'll get the opportunity to explore the greater Buffalo/Niagra Falls area while I'm teaching during the day and then we can explore together in the evenings. This will be my 3rd work trip so I know the basics but never had an opportunity to go into Buffalo itself (work is in a suburb called Amherst). Perhaps Jeff will make a few side trips to Darien Lake and/or Martin's Fantasy Island amusement parks. What sucks is that the new border-crossing laws went into effect 2 weeks ago and you need to have a passport to travel to Canada now. I have one, but Jeff doesn't. So I guess I'll be making a quick solo trip to get that delicious Canadian Ketchup that he so loves!
