Red eye flight

Checked out of my hotel in the morning itself and went for the talks. There was another nice keynote by the intel researcher who talked about very different sensor systems - one where scalability and management is important, and no resource constraints at all, as is assumed in classical sensor systems. After another heavy lunch with lobster sandwich, I found it had to concentrate on the talks. I am really suffering from very short attention span. Maybe I should start some yoga to relax my nerves. it was not helped by the fact that many of the talks were theoritical in nature. anyways, went out with a few friends in the evening for a stroll along venice beach, and had a whole tilapia for dinner at an awesome thai restaurant. One of the guys dropped me to the airport at 10 pm, and I spent the next 3 hours working on a paper revision, writing last 3 days of blogs, and trying to use this boingo wireless only to realize that they offer only monthly or daily service, not the hourly service I was looking for and would have paid for.

My parents had arrived today at houston in the afternoon. and as i would not be there, my bro and sil had come from DC to receive them. Talked with them quite a few times. My bedroom ac was not working, also it was 40 degrees+ temperature. they had even gone to the nearby fiesta and bought fish and groceries :-) and am now waiting in the airport, really wishing I had an earlier flight than this red-eye madness. had not seen ma-baba for over one and half years now. This was also my third red eye flight from california back to houston in as many months. and i have never been able to sleep in any one of them.
