First posting - this blogging thing seems pretty easy so far. We'll see how it goes. So the big news of the day is, of course, the Flyers making an obscene comeback to win in the playoffs after being down to the Boston Bruins 0-3 in the series and 0-3 in game 7. I am glad I got to witness this ridiculous Philly sports moment with some of my best friends. No matter how the Flyers do from here on out, it was an amazing series.
Speaking of friends, my buddy Dev grew up slightly closer than me to the Limerick nuclear power plant and therefore has incredible beard-growing abilities. So, we made a bet (with no consequences whatsoever... but aren't those the best kind?) that in the ~14 wks of my road trip, I couldn't grow longer facial hair than he will grow in 14 days at the end of my trip.
Today was also my last day of work at Enzo Life Sciences. It was a good first real job and I learned a lot from working there. "Don't start with arachidonic acid... start with Biomol." Man I like that catchphrase from an early catalog we got to see on thursday - what can I say, I'm a nerd.
As I am writing this I am staying up all night before my flight out to LA with my family (we are leaving early in the morning, I still haven't packed, and I am wired from that game). Some context for this irony of travel - my cousin Evan is graduating from Occidental College in Los Angeles on Sunday 5/16. Our family is flying out to join this celebration and have a bit of a reunion with other relatives. We fly back to Philly on tuesday, and I leave for my road trip - hopefully - that friday. A good comparison of the quick vs. the long way to get cross-country.
