BigEasy is lightweight, fits my computer, and wears comfortably on my back. I inherited this little gem from my husband, Dr. Keith Peterman, a York College of Pennsylvania (YCP) chemistry professor, thus \u201cPeterman\u201d is embroidered on the front. Every year, YCP chemistry students and faculty attend a national American Chemical Society meeting held in various cities around the U.S. Dr. Bill Steel, YCP faculty, designed this logo, ordered the packs and distributed them to the YCP attendees. I fell in love with this one the minute my husband brought it home.<\/p>\n<p>As we were departing for our trip to France, I sent a quick text to Bill informing him BigEasy was headed to far away places. Afterward, it occurred to me I should make a photo journal of BigEasy in all of these interesting venues. Now, I know this is not an original idea, but I have to say, it\u2019s been really fun figuring out how to place the pack, watching the reaction of surrounding people, and viewing the photos at the end of each day.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few of the photos so far. Stay tuned for more of BigEasy\u2019s travels. And a big shout out to York College Chemistry students and faculty. Where has your BigEasy been?  Send me photos and if I\u2019m totally impressed, I\u2019ll post them on my blog.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_51\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-51\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-on-door.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-on-door.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Wondering what&#039;s behind this door.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-51\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-on-door.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-on-door.jpg?w=375&amp;ssl=1 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-51\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wondering what&#8217;s behind this door.<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure id=\"attachment_47\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-hanging-eifel.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-hanging-eifel-225x300.jpg?resize=225%2C300\" alt=\"Wishing it was hanging on some higher metal.\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-hanging-eifel.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-hanging-eifel.jpg?w=375&amp;ssl=1 375w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wishing it was hanging on some higher metal.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eb-hiding-eifel.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eb-hiding-eifel-300x199.jpg?resize=300%2C199\" alt=\"Can you find BigEasy in this photo?\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-57\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eb-hiding-eifel.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/eb-hiding-eifel.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Can you find BigEasy in this photo?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_48\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-48\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-in-the-green.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trishmcgee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/be-in-the-green.jpg?resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"How about here?
