May 23--Drive to Vermont for college-friends reunion. Go on ill-fated hike, in which we arrive at summit for the second time as we thought we were heading towards the bottom
May 24--Drive to Boston for NEH workshop
May 24-30--NEH workshop on American Lyceum, which includes trips to Concord, Salem
and Worchester. Activies go from 8-5 each day, which social outings each
night. Except the night I visited the Bagleys and the night I did research
from 6-10.
May 30--Give final presentation. Do research from 12-4. Take train home.
May 31--Hang out with Audrey and recover.

All in all, a fun, memorable month. Although I am hoping for a quiet, productive June.
