I am repeating myself ...
... another trip to Cali. (Flickr set) This time, I drove and flew back. My schedule was really loose and messed up. I ended up staying 2 nights with J+W, and four nights with the parents. I only selected a few activities to keep me sane. And spent the rest of the time at home and focused on my tasks at hand.
No news, just more of the same job hunting, a bit more tired, and took advantage of the trip to spend time with parents and some friends.
