Headin' Out

I'm leaving the (relative) warmth of Statesboro for freakin' freezing (and snowy) State College in the morning. Remind me why I'm taking this trip in FEBRUARY? Wait, I think someone mentioned that it wasn't that smart of an idea. Oh well... it's just good timing for me professionally (discounting my personal feelings about the weather... these pics are what it looked like in February when we lived there! Haley, since you reminded me that you'd never seen it in person, I thought I'd post a pic of the old Lingwood place). It's definitely time for me to get "re-plugged in" with my colleagues up there. Can't wait to sit down with my boss for another one of our talks. I love her... and miss her most of all! Is that weird? All of you are jealous of my boss, aren't you? (Well, everyone but Haley.) But I sure am dreading dealing with the snow. I hope I don't have problems with the flights tomorrow. Flying into State College, as always, is interesting. I have two layovers, Charlotte and Philly. Too many chances to get snow-delayed for me! So... Kim - If I have time (and especially if I'm delayed), I'm stopping by the Hertz desk either tomorrow or Friday (on the way back through)!

Jon & I hosted the Sport Psych grad students tonight for a baby shower for the Czechs. Rivers is very sweet @ 2 months. Looks just like her brother! It was nice having guests over. And Haley, we got a compliment on the artwork... I'm hoping they actually liked it and weren't just being nice! They actually asked where we got it. Yeah, probably being nice, but I choose to believe they really liked it. Anyway, Cooper & Kona were very excited about the company. We left them outside for most of the time (at 6 months, you never know how they'll react), but they came in at the end and were thrilled to play with new people.

OK, well, halftime's almost over... gotta go watch more Heels b-ball. I hope it's more of the same shooting from Carolina in the 2nd half (has Wes been working with everyone on their 3-point shooting?). But I could use some better defense and ball-protection (STOP turning the ball over!). Hope y'all are having a great Sunday night! See ya from State College a little later.
