Crappy, I'm glad it worked out for you and I hope you enjoy Niagra. Make sure to do Maid of the Mist. It is awesome.
Today I learned what a PITA tenured/emeritus professors can be. Got told by one at MIT that his rate was $1k/hr and another that he was unwilling to come on board unless he could fly business class to all meetings. WTF. It makes me angry to think that of the taxpayer money they must have wasted up to this point pulling that shit. Also makes me wonder who within the government allowed them to do this. I remember back when I was a prof one of my co-workers would fly first class on all travel and bill it to research, what a waste.
