My Internet access is somewhat limited here, so sorry the blogging has been light. A few reflections on the day:

1. The Law and Education SIG is so enjoyable. It really is my favorite professional group and for you fellow edjurists out there, I highly recommend that you consider it.
2. The numbers are substantially down this year. You can notice it not just in the number of folks in our SIG and whatnot, but just in the number of people in town and at restaurants. 
3. It is becoming harder and harder for me to live in 2 worlds. I have traditionally done a lot with the law group and a lot with the principalship preparation group. It is tougher and tougher to continue in both and be effective at either.
4. San Diego was cold today. Not Minnesota cold, but sort of unpleasant. Based on my first 2 days in San Diego, I thought it was pleasant here all the time.
5. AERA is quite the bureaucracy. I have had quite the time getting a simple check cut and finally was told ... it was not going to be cut at all.
