Sunshine and sand

I'm off to do science-y things at the beach. Woke up today and it is BEAUTIFUL. I took a nice, brief, walk on the beach last night and saw things called stars...they were so wonderful since the sky was crystal clear. I don't think we have stars in Raleigh... Anyway, I'm trying to enjoy my work-get-away and soak up some January sun, some good beach time, oh, yeah, and do a little research on the side. Life is good.
