ND and I are likely going to be in the Boston area Saturday or Sunday evening...anyone still interested in meeting for dinner? Which day would work better?
Discussion in F2F...
(Also, Jon B., is your offer of a place to crash one of those nights still good? We could probably do either.)

I could use some good biopsy test~ma for my dad, please. It could be a form of lymphoma resolved by an 8-week serious of shots. Or it could be non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, which would be much, much worse. We're really hoping for the former, and we'll get the biopsy results tomorrow.

Thank you for the biopsy~ma. Unfortunately, it looks like Dad does have non-Hodgkins lymphoma. I'll know more about the staging and prognosis tomorrow.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My good news isn't as good as the bad news has been bad, but we'll give it a try: I've got a new job.
It starts Monday. Its temp to perm (so the money will be eh at first) but it is with a firm that I very much wanted to work for and pretty much only hires tha way.
So Woo to the Hoo.

mr. flea is defending his dissertation this morning at 9. Passing ~ma would be greatly appreciated.
We'll also be going dark soon - probably tomorrow - because we're moving to Athens GA. Maybe up in grey (= poached slow wifi) by Saturday.
