An Auspicious Start...

      So, it's Wednesday, January 12, and I'm supposed to be in Boston right now at a reception meeting the group, faculty, and program directors. Instead, I'm sitting at home, staring out the window at the 14 inches of snow that a blizzard dropped on the northeast last night and has still not abated. The well-planned orientation session in Boston from the 12th to the 15th is already a mess. The weather will prevent me from getting to Boston until Thursday morning, and other students will make their way into town all of Thursday and Friday. This feels much more like Minnesota than Massachusetts.
