Overall, the trip was a success. I really enjoyed the sun, the south, and the awesome food! I also got rather motivated to attend the Int'l Viola Congress, which seems to be in the cards, now that I've been rejected from Sarasota for 4 times now. Wooh! (The two events conflicted- the congress is in mid June in Cincinnati.) Anyway, now, I'm just trying to shred some viola for Monday's New World humor-fest, and enjoying the direct sunlight in my apartment, which is rather rare for this state. I seem to have brought back the warmth, which I'll take.
