Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

What did Dana forget to pack?

Face mask?

And probably other stuff I forgot to list.

Um. Lanyard? I, of course, have spares.

Probably less funny to the people sharing the room with me.

Dude. Uncool.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, right, pajamas. That would have been funny. Probably less funny to the people sharing the room with me.

Well, I'm sure you would have worked something out, but still. That's like my #1 thing to forget.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Lanyard is on my list, though not packed yet.

I thought for a second you meant Xavier in New Orleans, and I was prepared to be very surprised.

I think there is actually only one Catholic university in the world, Loyola Mount Mary Xavier, and all the others are branches that just pick a piece or two of the name at random, hence all the confusion.

Good toilet tissue to replace the shreddy molecule-thick wood pulp the hotel will provide!

It's a pet peeve. I bought a four-pack of Charmin for our room in Atlanta.

Hey, does anyone have suggestions for how to prepare shallots to go with chicken Kiev or oven-roasted fish? I impulse bought a few last week, but ti doesn't look like I can justify buying a roast anytime soon.
