Back in Santa Barbara for the conference. It starts Saturday. So far I have managed to have the worst night terror of my life on the red-eye flight from Kauai. I'm glad I didn't scream, and came very close to throwing up about two minutes after I snapped out of it. Awkward on a completely smooth flight. Then on Tuesday I encountered some paprika in my lunch without noticing it, and my newly-discovered food sensitivity demolished me for the next day and a half. Only just starting to feel a bit normal today. So the food think is getting a little bit terrifying. No nightshades of any kind, ever. Paprika? That's in everything. About all that's safe is cake and beer. Oy.

So not ready for the conference.
