Two plane trips, two trains, one bus, one boat, one cab, and 30 hour without sleep, and it was all worth it. I’m currently on the island of Elba, off the west coast of Italy. The BaBar collaboration is meeting here, perhaps for the last time in this locale, to get ready for the summer conference cycle. A lot of us are here, catching up on data, computing, analysis . . . you name it. Jodi is playing “physics wife” this week (as I played “physics husband” last year at the Fermilab dark matter symposium), working a little and reading on the beach. Meetings go all morning, with a four hour break in the afternoon, followed by meetings until 7:30, then dinner.
I’ll write more as I can.
