  Well Friday is the big travel day, though going back to California is always easier because of the time change (I leave at 12:30, arrive at 5:30, and there's a stopover). It's been fun to be at home and to catch up with friends and fam, but it's about time I got back to the warm weather. :) My papers are slowly coming together, but I've got some tough work ahead of me this weekend. I'd like to be done-done by the time Vegas rolls around, but I'm not sure I can resist the lure of all my new DVD's and video games for that long. I've already had to do it most of break (lacking a good computer and whatnot), and my resistance has been worn down. Wish me good flying and on-time arrivals!
