I'm at the beach in Galveston, but in case you dropped by...
A Knight of Writing in white shorts, armed with confidence and a can of beer.
Something that's helping me write today: Letting the sea breeze blow the cobwebs from my mind.

Nice little video, Regina.
I'm sure you're having more fun on the beach than I am with the rain here in the DFW area.
Wish I was there! Missed you at the meeting Saturday. Kathleen Baldwin gave a great program.

ooohhh. You're so lucky! It's been cold up here in New York. I'm sitting at my computer in my winter jacket...just because I'm too lazy to go upstairs to get a sweater!

Galveston was beautiful. We were there as guests of the Honors Program at Texas A & M Galveston and they made it a wonderful experience.
My oldest has been accepted at A & M Galveston, but really wants to go to A & M College Station and study Aerospace Engineering. Galveston has engineering programs but not Aerospace Engineering. Unfortunately it's really difficult to get into College Station and he won't be told if he made it or not until May 17th. But since he can start at Galveston and be guaranteed a transfer to College Station after one year, he's registerng there as a backup plan. Galveston told us about 50 percent of their Honors Program students do that - spend a year at the beach branch of A & M so they can back door into the main university at College Station.
He's been accepted at other universities and offered full and partial scholarships, but Texas A & M is the ONLY place he wants to go. He says he'll do whatever it takes to get there.
I told him either way it's a no lose situation. If College Station accepts him straight in that's great, but if he has to spend a year on the beach at Galveston first in order to back door into College Station that's not so bad. He met a few other engineering types at the Honors event who were working the same plan and they exchanged Facebook addresses, so he's already collecting compatriots. That's the thing that is sooo impressive about Texas Aggies. They are extraordinaryily friendly.

Hey, Jen. I was so sorry to miss Kathleen Baldwin. On the other hand, the sea was lovely.
