My good friend Matt recently got accepted to pursue a Master's degree at Stanford. I'm excited about this because it will make it much easier for me to see him - his current home in Vermont is quite a slog from Seattle.
He boldly accepted his spot at Stanford without ever having been there - actually, he'd never been to the state of California at all. Last weekend I met up with him there to scout out his new surroundings. I didn't bring a camera, but Matt has a really good photo album of the trip on his site.
We stayed in San Francisco and took the train down to Palo Alto for a day to visit the school. It's the most beautiful college campus I've ever seen; it's like a cross between a botanical garden and a living museum of Mission-style architecture. A very pleasant place to visit for any of you who know Matt.
Of course San Francisco is one of my favorite cities, and hanging out with Matt there was great. It was really hard to go back to work on Monday morning...

Ha - I like your use of the word (?) "slog."
Thanks, Matt. In my dictionary it is a word: "to work or travel with difficulty." It's funny because apparently you can be a "slogger" - I challenge you to use that one in everyday speech.
