cold!

Today's 15mph winds and freezing temperatures removed any doubt that I had about purchasing a long down coat.  I can't wait for my new Moosejaw jacket!  (And they were having a sweet promo where you get $100 of free mystery merch - score!)

 

This evening after work my lab group went out to dinner at Dante to say goodbye to two visitors who are leaving soon - Xiaolei and Ben.  My office is going to feel so empty without these guys.  I will miss them.
