that's the idea, my friend. Unless the idea is abhorrent to you. In which case I will wear sunglasses and stalk you.

excellent dilema , Fay!

and yay Nora and "Tom

that's it.

Fay, what a wonderful predicament to be in!

Yay! Nora's coming to town!

I worked until 9 last night and was back at my desk this morning at 7. I have a meeting in SF at noon, and have to be back in Berkeley for another meeting at 2. Factor in the fact that I awoke this morning with a rotten feeling, and a low grade temperature, and I'm beginning to suspect that by tonight I shouldn't be held accountable for anything I say or do.

vw, look at it this way, you'll be in pain no matter where you are, and if you are at work you will be earning money, keeping a promise and distracting yourself. I googled the myopathy and they said it USUALLY gets better as soon as the patient stops taking the steroids, but it can take months. I have my fingers crossed that relief will start right away for you.

Wow, Fay, lots of wonderful news! So very exciting, whichever option ends up enticing you. I'd lean towards the better working situation, b/c the non-work aspects of both sound fabulous, and after the crap you had to go through in Cairo a good working environment is the least you deserve.

Woohoo, Nora! I still need to goet myself over to the Ferry Building so I can actually enjoy it rather than race through on my way to or from the ferry. Love that place.

I know you're trying to be super responsible about work, vw, but (pain) + (not really supposed to be there) adds up to (stay home in the hope that you'll be in less pain when you are scheduled to work).

I'll testify to your non-acountability if necessary, Sparky. Feel better.

Bangkok? (Oriental city, and the city don't know what the city is getting).

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who automatically goes there....

Also? Fay rocks like a rocking thing. Go Fay!

Whee! Nora will be around! Yay!

{{{{MG}}}} Just because I feel you might still need them.

(And if you're lucky then the god's a she....)

Bangkok? (Oriental city, and the city don't know what the city is getting).

You know, I'm glad I'm not the only one who automatically goes there....

Oh, I *so* went there, too.

Oh, I *so* went there, too.

I'm actually enjoying the earworm as it works its way through my brain. But then I am world o' gronk this morning, and coffee is only barely helping.

... in a show with everything, but Yul Brynner.

Last night I saw an australian movie called littlefish with a marvelous cast. Anyone else seen it?

Fay, I'm glad to hear you're spoiled for choice. Either one sounds like it could be loads of fun.
