Nice to be back, but it's a terrible dose of reality to get on a plane in 98 degree heat and disembark at 37 degrees in shorts and a pair of flippies.
We had a wonderful vacation...just what the Dr. ordered. All I'll say is that a week isn't long enough. Just about the time you start to decompress, it's time to pack up and go home. Voice mail was full at home and at work. Inbox full at home and at work. Seems like it wasn't convenient for ANYone that we leave on vacation. Good. How does it feel? I'm always the one left holding the bag while everybody around me jets off for their third or fourth trip of the year. I'm not very tan, but I have sprouted quite a nice crop of freckles in spite of SPF 50.
Nerds and their beloved nerdlings go to a movie...
Star Trek was da bomb. Trek-fan happiness with awesomesauce. I need to see it again, and I have nothing but praise for it. We all sat in the back row of the theater and laughed at the in-jokes while the rest of the audience sat in puzzled silence. *sigh* We should have seen it with other fans as it was released at midnight like Erika did the first time she saw it. She said it was "a real trip." Luke was in heaven, and we all went to Culvers afterward to happily and nerdily dissect the experience over Butter Burgers and shakes. Loved it. LOVED it! Didn't know if I would, but I do.
