Palm Springs

In July, I attended a conference in Palm Springs. It was sort of strange seeing green golf courses and palm trees all over in the middle of the desert.

I gave a couple presentations and am still trying to figure out how to give a good one. After all the meetings, I had 10 minutes to get out and enjoy the pool. I also swam in it some mornings to train for my triathalon, but it was only 3 feet deep and my fingers would scrap the bottom.

After the pool, my professor and I being bright engineers decided to go for a hike in the searing 107 degree heat. It felt like we were on Mars. There were no plants or animals to be seen, just rocks and a few other crazies.

Palm springs was nice, but I sure like being home a lot better.
