Final Stretch: Oakdale, CT, and New York, NY

Final travel post tonight, back to the typical rubying schedule tomorrow.

Sunday's twelve hour drive was definitely the worst. Hottest day, longest trip, most traffic and slowest vehicles. While every other day trip took only one stop for gas and stretching, I think this one took at least four stops, two for gas and two for just being tired and restless. We finally made it back after stopping in New Haven for pizza at Frank Pepe, which was totally worth it. Unfortunately neither of us took any pictures of the pizza--we were starving.

Spent Sunday night in Oakdale with my parents and the dog, but only about three hours of sleep since Colleen wanted to get back to lab as early as possible. We took the 6:00 am train from Old Saybrook to finally arrive at Washington Heights around 9:30.

Celebrated with all you can eat sushi in the East Village at night. It feels good to be back on the East Coast, but I will miss California and San Francisco.

Pictures will slowly go up on Flickr, and tomorrow will be back to the norm of programming all day, something I feel like I haven't touched in over a week. Yikes.

I did do some fair reading today. I am following Google's testing blog, and I'm jumping around the internet to learn more about ruby gems, considering the Ruby Talk email group shares knowledge of new ones constantly. I'll do some research about them tomorrow and even try to use one to write something to get this programming biz going again. I have a few interviews over the course of the next week, so it'll be a busy schedule once again. At least I'm not driving anymore.
