Packing for a Conference

• Sneak into the office ("I thought you were leaving today! Blah blah blah...") to get the good totebag.


• Go to Radio Shack to buy a new battery for the travel alarm.


• Curse the fact that the cutest, most professional, and most seasonally appropriate new outfit was worn yesterday.


• Something to do this evening: knitting or read about Hopf algebras? I never get past the part where they talk about comultiplication in coopposite coalgebras. (OK, that's not exactly true.)


• Convince someone to convert the map to written directions.
