Made it here

Made it here. Lovely, lovely drive — perfect weather. Took a lot longer than Yahoo said it would, though (and I wasn't dawdling, and the traffic was fine). Upstate New York reminds me of rural Illinois where I grew up — the terrain isn't as flat, but there are barns and grain silos and cows. And while I was looking for the conference center I discovered that Cornell has a livestock pavilion. It's a far cry from where I work in the heart of Boston. :-)

Whereabouts in Illinois did you grow up, by the by?

Macomb, Illinois, home of Western Illinois University, the Fighting Leathernecks, and the Macomb High Bombers. It styles itself “the crossroads of west-central Illinois”, and it’s true: there are two roads in west-central Illinois, and they cross there.
