Also, post- 9/11 you guys are REALLY not big with the welcoming unAmericans into your country. Lengthy queues culminating in fingerprints and photographs and suspicious grilling of a 'what are you doing in America' variety welcome a visitor to the New World.

You came from Egypt, babe. You might be an Ay-rab terrorist in disguise...

Know what's funny?

When you go to pack all of the things on your list that you have begun to set out, only to remember that you sold your luggage at your last yard sale and haven't replaced it. That's high-larious.

goes off to find something resembling decent luggage or else will have to resort to garbage bags. Is also muttering choice words to oneself.

The garbage bags will certainly mold malleably into those overhead storage containers.

I'm selfishly hoping you gotta go with gabage bags. Just for the pix.

(Make sure you get a pic from behind....)

That do suck, babe.

My DH would say garbage bags are perfectly fine luggage.

ION - I have almost finished 1 of the 3 papers I have to get written tonight if I'm going to play starting tomorrow.

Laura, darlin, I'm not going to make it tonight. What is up tomorrow? I'm dropping K-Bug off at school in the morning and then I'm FREE!!!!!

In answer to your question Pete, there seemed to be an inordinate amount of photos of my ass from NOLA. And a lot of them taken by Tom Scola.

Hmmm....

t gives saucy wink to Tom Scola

It might just have to be garbage bags.

Poor worn-out Fay.

Also, both my suitcases are lost in transit. The airline said they should arrive this pm, and asked me where I was staying, to which I was obliged to say "...er...Deb's house. It's in San Francisco. Er. That's not specific enough, is it?" So I told them to deliver it to the hotel.

Okay, I see one problem here, the hotel isn't going to recognize your name since you're not staying with them. Has someone alerted the hotel of these bags arriving, preferably someone who know's Fay's full and factual name?

Aimee I have a spare middle sized pullman you can borrow but I won't be home for at least another hour.

I am bringing a full-sized suitcase after all. It was either that or devote an entire carry-on to shoes.

Pete, we arranged the delivery of Fay's luggage with Lilibeth. It's cool. The front desk should know; they'll hold it.

So damned tired. I got four hours sleep last night and tonight is still avonex and that won't be until Nic gets home and that won't be for at least two hours.

Fay's conking. Over and out.
