Now I have AIM. My screen name is DoctorFateJSA (I got it for a role playing game) but now that I have it, people can add me to their buddy lists. (Because I'm still figuring out how to do that.)

I got into library school! I'll be starting at Simmons Graduate School of Library and Information Science this fall.
I just wanted to let everyone know that, 3101 miles and four days of hard driving later, I arrived in Burbank last night around 11. I guess this makes me an Laista! I haven't forgotten my roots, though—my inner Somervillian will stay strong.
Thanks for all the support along the way.
I'm back in Brooklyn, safe and sound after a slightly more eventful drive home than we'd planned (minor car accident in the middle of upstate NY -- only the car was hurt, but since we had to stop and replace a blown-out tire, we got home a day late).
Canada was wonderful, and I miss it already. I'm thousands of posts behind, but sloooowly catching up.
[eta: Photos from the trip begin here (just click "next" until you get to the end -- "prev" will take you back in time to last year's pics). Titles and descriptions are forthcoming.]
This is my last yapping at you until I'm a couple timezones away. So if anyone in LA would like to just say hi or offer directions to a Roscoe's or something, please leave a message on Almanzo's (aka. Chris) cell phone - 414-807-7088. We hope to see a few people while we're out there from the 4th to the 7th.
Starting this evening, I will be pretty much dark(might get access to e-mail once in a while) until the 15th, as I travel to Glasgow.
And I'm in Vermont until the 8th, though I have my laptop with me (posting from the Detroit airport right now), so I'll probably check in. Often.
And I'll be with my family touring such states as Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina until the 13th!
I have no vacation, but could I ask for some health~ma and bravery and resolution~ma for my father-in-law? Direct it toward Arizona, if you would be so kind. He just had a scary health experience and is on medical leave from work.
Ta ever so.
I'll be going dark for vacation later this evening until the 12th. As discussed in F2F, I'll be in San Francisco from the 4th to the 9th. Perkins has organized a dinner on Saturday the 6th if you want to get in on that and haven't been in touch yet. If you want to get in touch with me in SF, my cell phone is area code 416, 624-2239.
