My schedule's gone all wonky anyway. I may not have the free time I thought. I'll send you a text if anything changes but not sure yet. Sorry to be so flaky!

No worries. That's the magic of having a friend who's an introvert. I'd love to see you and hang out, but staying home can sometimes be its own treat! (Plus, I have a plan B if we don't make plans). Anyway, yes, it would be awesome to hang out, but if your schedule refuses to be controlled, I understand.

I'll be in Chicago for work Thursday, April 28, but I won't know until (hopefully) later this week whether I'll actually even be free for drinks/dinner. There may be a work dinner that would eat up my free time, but they haven't decided on that yet. And then I fly home the next day.

Teppy, if you do have time I might be able to get away from tech during the dinner break (5:30 or 6ish).

Aurelia, I do have a work dinner, but I don't know what time. Basically, we have a meeting until 4:30 or 5, and then at some point dinner. I don't know if it will be soon after the meeting (like 6), or later. If it's later than 6, I could meet you after the meeting ends. I'll just have to post here tomorrow when I know.

I'll put my cell # in my profile for the day.

I've got it now, so you can delete whenever.

Got it.

Woo!

Hah. My work travel life, let me show you it.

I don't know if she'll be available, but I'm hoping hoping to be able to meet up with Epic for breakfast tomorrow -- at Wallis Simpson's house! Or her house when she lived in Coronado. Which we can only get to (and have free breakfast) because I got to my hotel so late last night that they had to upgrade me into the swanky part. I mean, the swanky swanky part of this already swanky place. It's a freaking gated community within a luxury resort. Crazy!

The desk person told me to keep an eye out for famous people - as she sent me to the second, separate building where they give you the keys in this part of the hotel. Since obviously I don't want my room key from the [shudder] front desk.

(And yet - no hot water this morning.)

Part of its charm?

Just went and freaked out at my boss about how excited I am and she okayed my coming in late tomorrow!
