Big School Field Trip, For Grown Ups!

I promised I would write about my experience at the JPLTweetup 2011.  As the title of this entry says, I sorta thought of this as a field trip, like you had when you were in school.  Except for this field trip you are taking a plane, staying overnight in a different city/state, and visiting the epicenter of human space exploration.
Let me repeat that last part.  OH EM GEE!  The frakking Epicenter of Human Exploration of our Solar System. Nay, our Galaxy.  Even our Universe!
I am going to have to write about this in several entries.  Don't be surprised if you see stories pop up even much later.   One thing that I came away with from this is that NASA is doing absolutely necessary things for humankind, and I want to be an ambassador for NASA.  This may be a rough start to that, but every journey begins with the first step.
Watch this space for more about JPL, NASA, and the adventures of a neo-NASA ambassador in training.  I want to do it right, and I'm not a professional writer.  So, patience, gentle readers.  I promise occasional gems.
Very occasional....  :-)
