you make me smile, please stay for awhile

San Diego was great - a really good change of scenery.

To sum up:

1. Daylight savings time affects CA too.
2. Dodge Calibers are a little ridiculous.
3. I'm not good at driving up really scary steep hills...my palms sweat. A LOT.
4. Colleen and I were total higher ed marketing geeks. We learned a lot, but mostly, we got a chance to meet people and say, hey, I'm having that same problem!
5. I got to see the actual Dead Sea Scrolls. It was amazing.
6. I get seasick. A lot.
7. My aunt is pretty damn cool.
8. I'm not good at public speaking.

And for my random music/writing plug of the night, I would suggest you all go and check out Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's collaboration, Raising Sand. Rolling Stone gives it 3.5 stars (click here to read the RS review), but I give it 4.5. It's an unlikely duo that ends up being pretty freaking awesome.

On a side note, do you ever wish you could just blurt out what you really want to say without having to think about the consequences?
