We saw baby Dylan today! Well, briefly. Had a great chat with Jess, though her DH nsm. He was on baby duty.

Their new place is gorgeous like whoa!

Sadly, though we both had cameras AND phones with cameras on us, we did not take a single picture. Picture me rolling my eyes at us.

So good to see them all. Now we're headed to dinner with a non-Buffista friend. Poor Scola is home sick, so no Scola-time for us. We might catch him at lunch before we head to CT tomorrow if we're lucky. This is just a super brief NYC trip since ND is flying in and out of here, so no big plans for us beyond these quick cameos.

Ahhhh, I love visiting with buffistas. We had beth b, her DH, juliana, her M, -t, JZ, dear Matilda, consuela, megan walker, emily, and Lee. So much fun, good food, and laughter. Now the house seems so empty.

It was a great time. Thank you for hosting it, Suzi.

I go nap now.

jealous Of all of you! I hope Tom Scola is feeling better tomorrow and gets to socialize.

One of the things on our Edinburgh list is to buy the new HP and read it - we're there on the 21st.

One funny thing, is that JK Rowling holed up writing the end of the last book in a super swanky hotel in downtown Edinburgh called the Balmoral, which is basically right across the street from the place we were staying after Christmas (maybe the 26th or 27th?) and then later I find out that there's a pretty good chance that we were there the same time she was! Not the same place, but within a stones' throw... [link]

I wish that were an option for me. That's what Joss did when he wrote "Lover's Rock" - just shacked up in a hotel room with a cassette box filled with The Replacements and Husker Du.

Though JZ has been awesome about vacating the house with Matilda while I try to finish.

Jilli, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your Gothic Charm School entries. I'm not goth myself, but I love reading your Lady of the Manners posts.

Hec, sorry you don't have a hideaway spot, but good luck on finishing your oevre.

I'm hot. And tired of working on projects.

Brunch was very good.good food. There was much sympathy in your direction , David. a mild funny: a number of people had to apologizes to JZ -, because they greeted Matilda and ignored her. We talked book, hair,health care in America, Harry potter, fanfic, and clafouti.

Dag...wanna teleporter now.
