I’m not dead and I’m finally out of the hospital. I have a ton of work to catch up on, but will try to post a real update tonight. For now, thanks everyone for the well wishes! P.S.

My group did market research for Banyan Tree, who wanted to open a new spa in Marrakech, Morocco. It was really interesting, and I learned a lot. Since then, I’ve stayed interested in spas, so I try to visit on occasion. Unfortunately, they are expensive! During Spa Week, I …
