Very nice, warm run on a 65 deg evening at 10:30 on the beach in Cocoa Beach, Florida. No moon, so it was very dark, allowing me to see the cruise boats steaming out to sea. I practically had the beach to myself and really enjoyed it. The high was 10 deg in Logan today, so this was a nice change. I wandered into the water at the very end, so I am hoping my shoes dry fast enough for a morning run tomorrow. Now I will shower and sleep. Tomorrow I will spend all day presenting my engineering drawing of the Ares Rocket to NASA that I have spent the past 6 months on at work. Hope it goes well.

Running on the beach sounds really nice since I am looking at the window at 10" of snow right now. I hope your presentation went well! Sounds like a fun project.

Have fun in Florida!

How did the presentation go? 6 months well spent?

Thanks everyone. The presentation went well- I was speaking for a full 8 hours. That sure is tiring.

You have never had a problem talking for that long before... I can picture it right now. Jon entertaining rocket scientists with his sweet jokes....

Oh you freakin' dog! You better try and soak up every last minute of warm weather you can! No slouching! haha
