This has been one long day. Up since 6 am and still rocking and rolling. Completing a paper and need to get to bed. Plane leaves in less than eight hours for Boston. Good times though. I think I have finished packing, but the weather and everything is up in the air. Worse case I will buy some clothing in Ireland. received some strange email from Aerlingus about setting up an advance with the Department of Homeland Security. Tried to set up three times and its is not working. Go figure. debating if I should continue working or try and get some sleep, either way I should be exhausted on the plane.
