Quick Ottawa trip, July 27-8

Tomorrow I am doing a rapid jot over to Ottawa for the wedding of my good friends Andrea and Mehrzad.

It will be four and a half hours on the bus tomorrow, starting at 10:30am and accompanied by comprehensive exam reading material. The wedding is from 7:00pm until 2:00am. I will then be hanging around an all-night diner in Ottawa until it is time to head for my 9:30am return bus.

Spending a bit of time in Ottawa relaxing and visiting friends would surely be pleasant, but many projects are looming over me and I need to prioritize them over other considerations until the end of August.

Photos from the wedding will go online once I find time to process them.
