Narrator, you could say Congatulations or We'll miss you (or don't pop any corn).

I think any of your ideas for the cake (even the ones you're not keen on) will work fine.

How about AU REVOIR!?

Without the ?.

I may need more caffeine.

PS, Could Geologist V. Astronomer be the next Caveman V. Astronaut? I mean, they'd have similar modus operandi, really. Or maybe they're just a subset.

How long would your commute be, Sophia?

Another factor is how often the buses are late. And do you ever have to deal with drunken passengers that fall asleep and lean on your shoulder....

Sophia, are you still doing the theater? In my mind there was some discussion where you had decided headache vs. income was not worth it.

I'd say try out the bus for a while, while still having the car.

Of course long-term I'd say/suggest looking for jobs at universities in warmer climates and possibly with better transportation.

They could have a big fight and throw plutons at each other, while on a Pluton....

Could Geologist V. Astronomer be the next Caveman V. Astronaut?

Aha. I thought you meant that like Workbook G. Cunts or something. Spam has ruined my brain.

Yesterday was migraine-free, although not pre-migraine free. So the upped meds may be some use.

This morning I'm squarely pre-migraine, and my day is 4 meetings deep, three before lunch. Which means no rest inbetween.

If the astronomers get to throw their plutons, I don't see the geologists lasting very long. On the other hand, geologists can actually throw their plutons without the aid of specialized technology.

Ha! It's real-life Caveman v. Astronaut!

Would you be allowed to use University buses?

Yes I can. And they haven't announced the routes for the school year yet, so there may be even more options once that happens.

Of course long-term I'd say/suggest looking for jobs at universities in warmer climates and possibly with better transportation.

Of course, I am thinking-- Alaska! I actually love the cold, but Rochester, as Tom can attest, is just particularly nasty and gross.

I think the thought will be to try this for a month and see what the what is. In that time, I should pray my car doesn't break, and in fact, I might save enough money to fix it up, since I won't be randomly stopping for dinner on my way home, etc. I was also thinking of taking a trip to the ginourmous food store and buying a lot of non-perishable groceries to tide me over.

sounds like a good plan Sophia - and if it snows before you decide - dig out your car so it oesn't become an ice lump. and start it every so often ( once a week?) to make sure it keeps running.
