Leaving tomorrow for Santa Barbara

I'll be away starting tomorrow until Monday for Santa Barbara. I'm lucky enough to have a friend who lives in a gorgeous little cottage up there, so I'm looking forward to a couple of quiet days of beach combing, window shopping and hot tubbing. We're also going to see Anita Diamant speak at UCSB (free!) and take a walking tour of Lotusland. All in all a nice mixture of distractions and relaxation.
