This was a day of sensory overload, so it’s a good story with lots of pictures.

I’ve added entries for days 4 and 5 – take a look. I’m amazed at how well I remember everything. I usually can’t go out the front door without having to come back in two or three times to retrieve things I’m supposed to take with me, but I remember that trip like it was yesterday.

For the first time in a long, long time, I feel I have my “voice” again. Ever since grad school, doing any significant amount of writing has been an unpleasant, sometimes painful task. Now it feels fun again. I think all those PoliSci papers I had to write at Georgetown did some damage that I’m only now recovering from!
