Garden - the frost has hit and I'm in the process of cutting back the stems of the dead plants. I'm always relieved when the frost kills them for me, hate killing plants.
Work - everything has been a blur here. Constant work from morning to afternoon. Way too much.
Studies - apparently McCLaferty rearrangements are the most predominant fragmentation process for heteratom or pi-bonded groups, so long as there's a gamma hydrogen available; otherwise, alpha fragmentation if favored, but only if there's an electron drawing point in the radical. Or so my professor says. Who would have thought mass spectroscopy would be so complicated?
Travel - For any of you who are interested, we will be in NYC from October 30 - Nov 2 (in two weeks!). I would like to see at least a few of the locals while we're there....
