I test drove cars this weekend, I really want one. But, I am still freaked out about spending that much money (weird thought considering how much I owe the bank for my house). I still haven't test-driven the Jeeps though. Sarah and I went to the dealership two weeks ago on a Sunday and they were closed (which, I guess, happens). Then, we went again on Saturday and now they are closed on Saturdays and open Sundays. Very absurd.

I also helped do the local President's Scholarship interviews. All the candidates I saw were really good (last year's lot was a little more disappointing). And, of course, impressive. Some of them made me wish I was in high school again (that's only a fleeting wish, though!). Another amusing thing was that one of the alumni there (AE '63) used to work at NASA in the MPAD (which is the predecessor of my division) during Apollo, and he was naming people to see if any of them were still around, and he said "What about Jon Harold, he was real junior guy when I left?" This made me laugh, because now its Mr. Harpold, head of Mission Operations, who is my boss's boss's boss's boss.

This week is going to feel really long. I just realized, I haven't worked a full week since before Christmas (there was Christmas week, then New Years off, then I was sick one day, and then I went to Philadelphia taking a Friday off, and then Martin Luther King Monday off).

Yesterday was a beautiful sunny day, warm in the 70s. Tonight, its going to drop below freezing. The weather forecast is particularly entertaining today: High 70, Low 30. I guess its not as crazy at the freak winter D.C. and Philadelphia is having, but I don't think I'll ever get used to 40 degree temperature spreads.
