My soul will not magnify the Lord

In what can only be described as a major letdown, the AIChE Annual Meeting, to be held in November, has decided in its infinite wisdom to schedule the majority of polymer physics sessions at the end of the meeting, which means I have a poster session on Sunday and a talk on Friday. As a result, I will not be able to sing with the Concert Choir, which was scheduled to perform the Bach Magnificat. Oh well---business before pleasure.

My main consolation---I get to spend a week in November in California. A fair trade-off, all things considered.
