Er, I meant - if you take anoth 400mg, of course, but you prolly figured that out.

I took two 200mg ibuprophen about an hour and a half ago. So far, they haven't even taken the edge off the cramps. Is it okay for me to take two more?

Oh, hell yeah.

Huh. You know, it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, I should use the OTC ibuprophen for headaches instead of the 600mg ones I got for having a baby.

I just brought Toto's bed out to the living room. He's all curled up in it. It's so sweet.

Is JZ around? I just got a flyer saying that the Heart of the Forest Rennfaire was about to pack it in, and I didn't remember if that was the good Bay Area faire or the evil Bay Area faire.

I read something upstream about David taking JZ to an airport, but since I skipped 1,000 message before today's, that's all I know.

Do any of the bayareaistas have an endodontist they would recommend? The people I went to on an emergency basis want to send me to Cupertino for my root canal, since their regular referral endodontist doesn't take my insurance.

No, and yes. No, I don't know anyone, but I highly highly recommend my dentist and if you'll call his office, I expect they'll have a good recommendation. They've given good recs for friends in other parts of the West Coast before. I'll email you his name/address.

Sparky! We saw an ultralight

Did it take off from Mt. Tam and land on the beach? It might have been a Milennium.

It was coming down/heading south towards the beach as we were walking into town. It looked more square than a hang glider though I'm no expert. The squareness made me think it was some kind of ultralight. Too bad we weren't on the beach because they're fun to watch. While you're trying not to be in their way, too, of course.

Wally report! A woman with whom I've been corresponding, and who informs me that my last email made her laugh out loud (in the good way, apparently), added "Do you enjoy the email ping-pong thing? To be honest I find it rather tedious. If its not too forward of me, perhaps we ought to meet?" So I'm planning to write back and say I'd love to, but she needs to understand that I don't put out on the first date. I'm thining the Zoo, that way I get the home ground advantage. Oh, and another woman tried to call me last night (while I was giving a lecture, but it's the thought that counts). Go Wally!

That Wally's got a crazy life. I'm all impressed.

He's a go-getter. But he has yet to get any. It's a paradox.

Woohoo! Go billy!

...so, I'm waiting to hear the details of my flight back to Egypt. My flatmate got the details ages ago, and she's flying out on the 28th August - which is a week later than we'd anticipated, and she's trying to arrange for it to be sooner.

I've sent several emails of increasing stroppiness to people (some of whom may well be on holiday, of course) asking for details of MY ticket.

...but now I've thrown a wee spanner in the works, 'cause I've just sort of committed to being in Scotland on 24th August with this purchase.

Did I mention it would be my birthday on August 20th?
