Fun with hair!

We spent the day resting and getting caught up on work we've neglected the past month - our travels this summer have been deceptively exhausting. The talks and their preparation take a lot of energy, and it doesn't seem that we've a had a real day of rest, but instead moments of it here and there. The breaks are welcome, and our friends in DC have hooked us up with their internet access, not to mention their video rental card and health club passes. We've put on the "itineration fifteen" over the past six weeks - like the famous "freshman fifteen" weight-gain - due to parents and friends taking us out to eat. We're not complaining, but the need to buy bigger pants is straining our domestic budget...
