I will be away for the next week and a bit. I drive to Calgary tonight to see a couple of my Albertan colleagues, and then hop a plane to California tomorrow.

The visit will be mostly to San Diego, but will include side trips to Disneyland and Mexico. Regardless, right now I am very excited to go to a place where you don't have to scrape off your car in the morning and hair doesn't freeze while you're walking around.

I'm sure you'll hear about it when I get back, and I might even have pictures if I can convince Dave to bring his camera out.
