going to where cali driver's don't need to drive in snow

indeed. Minot is a scary snow place when no-one from North Dakota is from the North. A little snow falls and people go all crazy-like with the gas pedal.  I had a free  ice car-pades show on my way to school with all the triple lux spins.  As long as they don't hit my car with their summer tires.

So, here I go to San Diego, and yes, I am completely winging it. OK, that's a lie. I will be at a conference during business hours for the most part. But outside of that, I am winging it.  OK , that's also a lie, I am kind of relying on other cohorts to have some direction.  Sounds like I am staying in a pretty trendy area so walking and beer or wine may be the mix when I am not edumacatin' myself.  Depending on the reception I get for my thesis poster I could be celebrating in smartypantsness or drowning in ownedness.

At least I will be warm in my newknitsweater!!!!!
wait. It's cold in San Diego, right? Like 40 below?

wow. last week was so stressful I was seeing double; and I almost finished my sweater as a result! I love the catharsis knitting provides.   Taking things one day at a time, and starting to remind myself I will be in San Diego next week. (note to self: print poster)

I am on to the final band that wraps around the sweater, add buttons and block! Really excited about this.

T minus 40 days untill December 19th
