I head to New York City for 3 days on Sunday, December 21 (where I hope to meet <a href="http://followingyourbliss.blogspot.com/">Gary</a>, see my friend Scott and my cousin Christine) followed by two weeks in Pennsylvania with my family, before leaving for 6 days in Seattle on January 6th (where there are many friends to see). As an academic, I'm fortunate to have about 6 weeks worth of Winter Break, which is awesome! Though I have some work to do over that time, it's nice to be able to decide when and where I want to do it, and to have some <span style="font-weight:bold;">fun</span> along the way.<br /><br />I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season, and, knowing me, I'll post some pictures or something sometime soon. In the meantime, enjoy a few from wintry Buffalo (we got some snow the last 2 days). <span style="font-weight:bold;">Ciao!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5zJF7SB0llY/SU0KzpF7Y8I/AAAAAAAAD48/67HUdyrHxfo/s1600-h/DSCN0487.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5zJF7SB0llY/SU0KzpF7Y8I/AAAAAAAAD48/67HUdyrHxfo/s320/DSCN0487.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281889820295783362" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5zJF7SB0llY/SU0KzbtFmfI/AAAAAAAAD40/hP0Hc8eEQjQ/s1600-h/DSCN0485.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5zJF7SB0llY/SU0KzbtFmfI/AAAAAAAAD40/hP0Hc8eEQjQ/s320/DSCN0485.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281889816701934066" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19845190-1813065445005380673?l=contextualmusings.blogspot.com'/></div>J.
