you waited and begged for this?

I ran today instead of playing video games. Everyone was being lame and not starting anything so I did something constructive. I ran two miles and walked another half mile. Now my leg is all twitchy.

Since I last posted, my Mom, Dad and sister Nikki came out to lovely California and I went to Sacramento for the AIAA JPC and a class. Acronyms ... TAKE THAT! You can read Nikki's blog to hear what we did in LA. She's more eloquent than I. The conference was a lot of people talking about their research. I liked the presentations on papers about rocket history. I might have to look some of them up and read them. The class was okay. It was about liquid rockets. I didn't get a whole lot out of it because it was an overview and I knew most of it. Then when they got into stuff I didn't know the guy talked too fast and it was after lunch and I was all full of food and sleepy. Anyway I hung out with Jennifer from work every night and we had some good food eating out in Sacramento. I ran a couple of times when we were there too. The tredmills were awesome. They had TV's in them and headphone jacks and they supplied headphones.

Today was a busy day at work after being gone for a week (and leaving with work undone). I'm flying back to New Orleans on Wednesday for another IPD test. I am really excited about it. I am hoping that nothing goes wrong because I'll be the AFRL rep. again and I really don't want to have to make any decisions. It's past my bedtime ...
