Hibernating

Still in hybernation.
After getting out and in of New York between snow storms to visit Germany for Christmas I went into hibernation for the winter. Between being hit by multiple massive snow storms (causing a lot of work tunneling out of the house...), starting new projects in the lab and the semester kicking off with lots of class work not too much has happened.
With subzero temperatures a lot of my energy was wasted in putting on layers and layers of clothes every time I tried to go somewhere,... maybe I can blame all the extra sleep I've needed on that.
But, in the last few weeks we've started to see the sun more and more and hope of spring getting here eventually is growing as the expectation that we will have to play our first rugby games of the season on snowy pitches.
