Well, Em says she has heard UC Santa Barbara referred to in that manner. Of course, it was from a friend who was going to an even more notorious party school (not printed here for self-protection).
We're borrowing the Tonkyn's minivan (thank you Sarah & John!) to which they have attached their bike rack, and we're hitting the road tomorrow around noon. We get to move Emily in to her dorm (Anacapa for those of you looking at a map of UCSB) starting at 9 a.m. Sunday.
I've been a bit tired the past couple days and Frank keeps offering to do the trip solo with Em, but I don't think I could stand that. So, I plan to stay with the car while they're unloading and then go park and slowly make my way back to the dorm while they're putting things in the room.
Other than that, I shall be observing and trying not to interfere in the negotiations to fit three young women (and all their stuff) into a room built for two.
Maggie, meanwhile, will be spending the weekend with friends. She has a soccer game on Saturday, around noon, and after that, she'll go to Siobhan Bauer's house, where I know she'll be well tended.
Frank and I hope to get home Sunday before too late so that Maggie gets to bed at a reasonable time. Wish us luck!

As the proud parent of a recent UCSB grad, I'm happy to report that despite the casual sex and booze (you forgot another recreational activity...), he not only graduated in 4 years, but he actually had a job interview yesterday (yes, he did graduate in June, but don't rush him!). Enjoy moving Emily in - this is really a wonderful ritual for both parents and students. And, don't forget to try the MaiTais at the Paradise Cafe !!! (www.paradisecafe.com)
Yes, we enjoyed those mai tais when we visited UCSB last April and took Kevin to dinner at the Paradise. We have reservations for the terrace at 6 p.m. tomorrow night. Mai tais are medicinal, aren't they?
Have a great trip. Say hello to SLO and southern California to me. Take it easy and Mai tais are totally medicinal.
Do you need one of those cards for a mai tai? Hmmmm. Hope you guys enjoyed. We were in Eugene doing much the same thing...well, no beach and no mai tais, but basically the same thing.
