I've got to go to a seminar this afternoon on the new computerized grading system the department is going to start using. I hope it's better than the 45 minute talk on how to use the new copier that we got a few years ago.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

msbelle, you're great.
Emily, make sure to have a good light wide-brimmed (is that how you say it?) hat, for walking outside.

Cairo sounds exciting! Mr. Jane and I are thinking India later this year. Not a place I had on my list, but the tickets are on his boss, so...

One of my friends is moving to Cairo at the end of the summer. It all sounds really exciting.

So I tell my mom to come later in the week for a visit, because I'm guaranteed to be tied up the first half. So they are coming on a tuesday. Sigh.

I'm wondering if I could buy one when I get there? It seems like a space-taking thing to pack, and it's not as though I need something of terribly high quality. What do you think?

I have no idea what the shopping is like in Egypt, so I don't know what to tell you. Fay may have an actual based-on-knowledge answer for you?
There are hats that are made of fabric, not stiffer straw or the like, and they can simply fold just like a shirt or any other item of clothing, so it wouldn't take that much space.
You really don't wanna step out to the very-hot blazing sun without a hat. Especially with your fair complexion. [Edit: maybe even pack just a simple baseball cap or something, to take with you, just so you'd have something to cover your head with, until you find a better not-good-for-packing one?]
(Oh, and in all the time Fay was in Egypt, we still didn't get to meet, so you're in excellent company in not-being-able-to-pass-the-border-to-Israel territory.]
