Greetings from Cleveland, where I am typing from Deena's desk. I can see the Michael Parks print Deb sent. DebetEsse brought her drill, conquered the cranky old brick wall and hung it up where it looks purty fine. I'll be glad to go home tonight and sleep in my own bed, but it's going to be difficult tearing myself away from all the books I haven't looked at yet. Kara brings me books and sits in my lap for stories, and Aidan not only drooled on my head when he found me sleeping on the couch, he pressed his face against mine and laughed when I gave him a belly fart. Deena is a lovely and gracious hostess (but you were already pretty sure of that, right?) and Greg has most graciously walked to the drugstore for a repair kit and fixed my glasses for me when the little screw fell out and disappeared into my luggage.
And everybody else? Charming, foamy, delightful - and lives too far away from me. Ima gonna miss 'em all.
{{vw}} Much anti-stress~ma to you.
Nora, we should be playing hooky together! Unfortunately, something called the country comes between us doing that.
Happy Birthday, beth b!
Nicole got to the airport fine. I hated to say good-bye. I'm consoled by the thought that we all tend to find any old excuse to travel, so we'll be hooking up again soon.
ION, I finally heard back from the insurance company the condo association uses. They're denying my claim for the damage done to my car by the dipsy dumpster. I think it's time to sue their asses.
Ah Katie, the only thing that helps with my seething jealousy is reading the reports. (and looking at pictures!) I can almost hear the laughter. Nice.
{{vw}} and {{Laura}} just cuz. It's been a lovely visit.
Happy Birthday Beth!
Katerina Bee, I was grinning the whole way home from Cleveland Thursday night.
I don't know why I'm so amazed at how warm, witty, friendly and sexy the buffistas are en masse.
What's halfway between Cashmere and Ann Arbor? Sylvania? Toledo?
Happy birthday, beth! Hoep you are feeling better and able to enjoy it!
{{vw}} I'm so sorry you have to go through this.

Hee. Middle of Nowwhere, OH. But you end up in Michigan again at any time and I'm trekking up. I have two uncles that still live in Ypsi--so I have no excuse for not coming up.
