SETI in SATX

I can think of better ways to round out Christmas break than judging the Area E Band auditions tomorrow, but it's part of the job. Not the most glamorous part, but a part nonetheless.

I do get to stay in a hotel on the district's dime, though.

There is something to be said for clean sheets, continental breakfast, and free wi-fi. While no Hyatt Regency (the one I stayed at in Chicago was amazing), it's alright.

If the entry title confused you, SATX is a common abbreviation for San Antonio TeXas (liberally borrowed from Montoya), and SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) is in reference to this great short story I came across whilst winding down tonight:

I had heard of Terry before, but never read anything by him. Excellent story.
