The entire State of California in four days; Thank you

I just got back from a whirlwind tour of California (Los Angeles → SB Wine Country → Hearst Castle → Highway 1 → Monterey → San Francisco → SB) with two friends from school, Michael and Danny. It was Danny's first trip to California, so we tried to hit the highlights. In all honesty, I saw more of California this weekend than I have in my previous five years here. But it was a lot of time in the car.

Anyway, now that I'm back, I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and encouragement as I prepare to start my new gig. I'm looking forward to getting started, and to being able to blog more openly about my job. That will be a nice change. But it means a great deal to hear from you. Thanks for taking the time to send emails and post comments.
