So my stress about this conference suddenly turned into excitement. It's going to be so cool!
Josep from Valencia, Spain, on Tim's SGC team, just told me this will be his first trip to the US. And I got so excited for him. He showed Tim and me around Valencia, now we get to host him in his first US experience.
And so many of our other friends will be there (plus friends-to-be that we haven't met yet). Not to mention how great the discussions will be during the conference and what awesome things will be created. I can't wait!

Golden Opportunities
I've been in FL for the past week or so. I'm quite stressed by this conference I'm organizing, but it's coming together. Tim is also stressed about SGC, FSRI, and the usual, so we had a nice relaxing weekend to take a break from the stress. My brother Dave is in town, so we're having fun hanging out with him.
Saturday we went to see My Super Ex-Girlfriend with Robert. And then we went with Paul to the super ghetto Titusville bowling alley for Xtreme Bowling. Sunday morning we got up and drove to New Smyrna Beach to visit with Tim's extended family that was in town. We swam in the ocean for about an hour. Then Tim & I left Dave with Aunt Jerri and company so we could go to Orlando.
Shane had called and said he could get us some free windtunnel time---with Buzz Aldrin!
It was awesome. We'll post some pictures later.

Happy 4th!
Tim and I both had good long weekends. I'll let Tim tell you about his weekend, but until then, here's my recap.
I took one of the mansion's rental cars and drove down to LA to see Susie. It took a little longer than it should, but I made it very early Saturday morning (4am). There was only a slight detour when I got pulled over for running a stop sign in Susie's neighborhood. I think I was a little suspicious driving really slow in a residential area at 4 in the morning. I didn't get a ticket, so everything worked out.
Saturday was a little of a lazy day because of the late night. We got our nails done, and we saw The Devil Wears Prada--a very good movie. I give it 2 thumbs up.
Sunday we went to the San Diego Zoo. There were tons of babies--a gorilla, a wallaby, wild boar piglets, an 11 month old panda, ducklings, antelopes, the list goes on. We even got to hand feed giraffes! We would have a picture, but the "professional" San Diego Zoo photographer took crappy pictures.
Monday Susie gave me a tour of the Boeing C-17 facility and factory. It is very different to see the insides of a new plane as compared to the 30 year old planes that I am used to. We saw Superman Returns Monday evening. It was good except for Lois's hair not floating. They made $52 million in one weekend; they could have spent $100k to make her hair float!
I stayed long enough Tuesday morning to see Discovery launch on the HD TV. Very cool! Back in Cupertino Tuesday night, I watched 3 simultaneous fireworks displays down in the valley from the front stoop of the mansion. What a life!
