I'm back from Arizona and I have officially declared today "Humidity Appreciation Day." To celebrate, I let my hair be curly instead of forcing it into straightness. It's quite the celebration.
I did have a great time in Phoenix. It was the perfect mix of leisure and activity - enough free time to rest and read so that I'm not completely wiped out now that I'm home, plus plently of fun things to do, including (but not limited to) fine dining, good drinks, a massage, getting to know people (which is always the best part of visiting a new city), and even a little karaoke. Someone once advised me to "leave while you're still having fun" and I've found that to be great counsel. Somehow, it makes coming home more pleasant.
Other than a slight flight delay and an accidentally-loud inappropriate crack about people being deported that I made in the airport in front of 10 hispanic guys and an immigration officer (I had on headphones and didn't realize how loudly I was talking), the travel itself went smoothly and I've sworn to turn my music off before I make any inappropriate remarks again. ; )
I'm happy to be back home now and almost ready to go back to work (but I'm not really going to think about that for a few more hours).
Welcome back!

Painting the town red sounds good to me, Jen. Count me in.
