Suck.

On the one hand, things are in flux and I may not get an R&R this year after all (thus no F2F).

On the other hand, the DH would in fact kill me if I went to an A's/Giants game without him, so I may be prolonging my life by my absence.

Flux sux.

GODDAMNIT. Raq, when will you know for sure?

I don't know...maybe as soon as this week. Best case is that I don't get an R&R but can head for the West Coast anyway, and that the DH can come with.

I'm concentrating hard on this happening, because I've really been looking forward to seeing everybody!

Fingers crossed as far as the bones allow.

Who do we know in Texas? I'm coming to Dallas for a conference over spring break, and I could probably swing more time to see people if anyone was around.

Dana, I'm half-thinking of renting a car (I can do that now!) and driving up to Houston.

Daisy Jane is in or near Dallas, right? Where's Corwood Industries? Austin?

She certainly is.

Where's Corwood Industries? Austin?

Yep.

Cool. Let me know when, since I have a family wedding (in Dallas, actually) in the middle of March.

Houston's about a four, four and a half hour drive. And not to discourage you or anything, but Austin is actually a cooler town.

I'd be there in April. It all depends on what the department is willing to pay for.

Question: is it a good idea to sign up for the shuttle back to the start?
