better writeup!

Jai has a much better writeup of our Saturday road trip than I wrote. :)

Tired and hungry this morning, although I got enough sleep and I just ate. Um. In a meeting now. Got up a little early (a whole half hour, wich means I got up at 7:30 instead of 8 like I’ve been doing o.O) and exercised. Situps and pushups and leg lifts and stuff like that.
