This past weekend, I took a break from the cold, somewhat snowy climes of Colorado, donned my nerd vest (ask Addy), and headed to my old collegiate stomping grounds of Western North Carolina. I stayed with my friend Hun Lye in Davidson, and commuted to Charlotte for a National Science Teachers Association conference. I am officially a "grown-up." At the conference, I bumped into one of my high school science teachers, who was surprised that I was a teacher, because she recalls that I was quite "wild." When I tried refuting her image of me, I was met with a "yeah - right!" So I gave up that battle, and went along with her bad-ass image of me. In the end, the conference sessions were scored as follows:
Useful: 3
Fun, but not useful: 1
Not bad: 2
What the hell was I thinking?: 1
Cancelled, so I ate a long lunch instead: 1
If you want details, I can tell you which was which.
In the end, the highlights of the weekend were as follows: (1) dinner with Hun, (2) dinner with Hun, (3) breakfast with Hun, (4) Skype-ing with friend Joe in Taiwan, (5) meeting up with friends from WWC, (6) Philly Cheese Steak's 26th Birthday bash, (7) Dim Sum with Hun, (8) R&R, and... of course (9) Duncan.
I am well-rested and ready to head back to Colorado. But I'll be back in two weeks for my first Warren Wilson Alumni Board Meeting. Hmm... I think I am going to need to buy even more nerd vests...

I won't tell Duncan that he didn't make it to the highlights list!
Please put Duncan and me on the highlights list of your next trip! We are so sad. In fact, if it weren't for Obama's exciting victory, we would still be crying. Heck, I'd be in the hospital from dehydration by now from the number of tears shed over your blog omission. Boo-hoo!
