Originally founded by the Germans . . .

Life has been extra busy these days. I don't know what it is about fall but life really seems to speed up for me and most people I know around this time of year, and it is only a bit crazier for me because I'm leaving on Wednesday to spend 5 days in San Diego. I am headed out there for a conference which I'm also presenting at, and on first glance that seems awesome, I know. But I am really not looking forward to it much at all. I have never been so far away from Elliott that I couldn't get to him in under 2 hours, and I've never been this far away. I know he'll be ok but I will miss him like crazy and I am already worried that something awful is going to happen and I won't be around. Hrmph.

I have not been to San Diego except for about a day when I was 10 years old, so when I force myself  to think around all of that negative stuff I am looking forward to checking out the city. I have no idea what I should do there but I'm hoping that I can figure out some cool stuff and at least have a lot of fun.

I am really looking forward to the next 3 months or so. This is my favorite time of the year and I am pumped this year that I get to spend it doing fun stuff with my boy. The Bengals, at this exact time, have a perfect record (for those of you who don't follow football, um, there's been 1 game and they won it), the weather has been cooling off, we have plans with friends and family to do fun fall things, and I'm figuring out Elliott's first real Halloween costume. Good times. I will probably post next from sunny California!
