As Chris says goodbye to Seattle, I’m headed home too after nearly a month living out of a suitcase. And while I’m excited to be on my own schedule again, Long Beach, California was a wonderful ending to the journey. This city is vibrant and fun with far more to offer than I anticipated. Most notably, George’s Greek Cafe, which not only has the most spectacular food, but also the friendliest staff and owner on the west coast.

Thanks so much to the Aquarium of the Pacific for a wonderful week among so many folks with innovative, interdisciplinary ideas toward improving oceans communication. It was especially fun to hang with Michael Mann off the blogosphere and I’m looking forward to picking up his latest book Dire Predictions, which sounds like a great read.
And with that, I’m off to the airport…
