Black Bean Burgers with Mango Salsa

Last weekend I went to Williamsburg.  I have been a few times before, but it is always a fun city to visit.

There is a section of the old part of town that has been converted into colonial Williamsburg.  You enter the shops and see people dressed up in 1770s garb and practicing a time appropriate trade.

I'm getting  back into my normal routine.  I went to San Diego last week for a conference.  Over the fourth of July weekend, I went to San Francisco.  It was fun, but it is nice to sleep in my own bed too.

The first thing I noticed when I got off of the plane in Virginia is the sweltering humidity.  San Diego was perfectly temperate, and San Francisco was brisk.  The summer heat is nice, but it wilts my enthusiasm for outdoor activities.

For unclear reasons, I decided to take a calculus class this summer.  It has been a good experience for the most part.  It is good to know that I  can still think quantitatively.  

The negative aspect of the class is that it has been a huge time drain.  I have class twice a week for three and a half hours each class.  On the days I don't have class, I often have a few hours of homework to complete.
