After our regular Dean’s and Director’s meeting today I’m headed to the second day of a very stimulating conference on “biologically inspired innovation” that’s being held over at IDA and then am off to my nephew Nate’s wedding in Cambridge Massachusetts. Nate is a doctoral student in Ann Arbor along with his bride-to-be, Seneca. He is a Harvard and Teach-for-America alumnus–I’m pretty proud of him.

After the wedding, We’ll head back to Virginia and ten days vacation at our Wintergreen house in the Blue Ridge. I’ll be blogging.
