Fermilab lecture on Nanotechnology

Neil and I stopped at the Little Owl in Geneva for din din, had the Shore Lunch – nice piece of Walleye and fries. Good, but I should have gotten the burger. Neil had the fish combo and concurs. Little Owl was a lot less crowded than I remember.

View College Tour 2009 in a larger map

We set out with the new Honda CR-V Friday afternoon. Traffic was a little funky in Rockford at the I39 on-ramp, and I-80 was trashed at the IL state line as usual, but for the most part, the trip was uneventful. Lots of [...]
