Good to hear all that. This is the good kind of busy, and hopefully the only kind you'll have to deal with.
I knew about most of those things were to take place including your trip to MIT, just didn't know all of them were at once (or one right after the other).
Glad you're doing well (and flying :D ), and welcome back!
Having indeed all those events close with each other made it complicated. I am now still in recovery mode, the flight back and its delay exhausted me. I am definitely getting old :D
