I am so behind. I'm so sorry. I promised myself I wouldn't get behind on this blog, and this job has absorbed absolutely every facet of my life. I'm going to fire a rapid succession of blog posts to TRY to put into words the past two weeks, but at this point to be completely honest I haven't found a way of doing so. Jason read us this quote on the steps of the giant cross atop Mount Soledad (google it) on the morning of tour launch. *prepare for an entire post on this...* It struck me so deeply, so hard, because it gives legitimacy and validity to everything I'm doing now, and everything that has happened over the past year. Be inspired.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."
