It's over with. I can't say how I did because I am my toughest critic. The questions were so random that I felt like I didn't get my train of thought on board as well as I could have.

I am home waiting for Jeff to arrive. We are going to the bookstore to pick out some reading material. Then we will have a mellow dinner at home, probably watch some Tivo, I have to pack and then head to bed early. We need to leave here around 7am to have plenty of time before our flight.
