And my son doesn't care about biology so the talk is probably not that useful to him. Plus traveling is a hassle.
Well, if it's any consolation, this year's talk sounds pretty cool-it's about geoarcheaology, cave-diving, etc... dh used to do a lot of scuba diving (before four kids took up all our time and money!) so I'm hoping he will find it more interesting than the state ceremony. And the medal is nice, so I guess it will be a nice keepsake. We are lucky in that we don't live that far-maybe an hour-so it won't be too much of a hassle. Safe travels.
