There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Too many laps around the super non-ADA building for rehearsals. Nobody wants to cue ahead, so I feel like we are constantly behind. Hate that feeling. In the meantime, low on sleep & hydration, plus tons of running around up n down stairs and hills, plus too much stage haze & fog, has given me aches n pains from the head to the heels. Ow.

Oy.

I can't get to sleep. I somehow slept until about 1 today, and took a nap in the afternoon, so I'm now wide awake when I should be asleep. I've got office hours tomorrow morning, where I don't expect to get any students, and then a meeting with my adviser -- I'm not as prepared as I should be, but I seriously doubt that he is, either. (I'm working on an article. It's nearly ready to be submitted for publication. I just need his comments on the last few pages. I sent those pages to him two weeks ago, with specific notes on what I needed comments on. I'm betting he hasn't read them yet.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

oh ya, DCistas. End of February It looks like I'll be in Bethesda for a wedding. Thinking of trying to be there the better part of the week, from Presidents Day thru Sunday morning or so. Am debating, should I stay at BETHESDA MARRIOTT the whole time and just take the Metro to all the sights to see, or get a hotel during the week in DC, and the place in Bethesda just for the wedding. The Bethesda place looks to be $89/night. Which sounds good, but wondering if there is a nice but not fancy place that is safe and good proximity to stuff that would be cheaper. The list of things I'd like to do, that will need to get scaled back: News Museum, new Capital Vistors Center, White House with cool administration, Smithsonian, Spy Museum, Koshland Science Museum, Kreeger Museum, ... aw hell, the Smithsonian could occupy the whole week!

Anyhow, thoughts and suggestions are most welcome. As are gatherings to meet folk.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Thanksgiving. Oof. We're entertaining my in-laws and I have NO IDEA what to serve. They're not turkey people. I need to email my MiL to see when they're coming and start making plans.

The kids and I are also in the local holiday parade THIS Thursday. It's supposed to be 31 degrees.

Bev, all my thoughts are with you. I'm so glad you and DH are able to take a week off from the world at this time. Take care of yourselves.

Our wings are not tired.

{{Beverly}} I'm sorry for your loss. I know you did everything a daughter could possibly do to make her last years comfortable. A peaceful passing when we are ready is the best we can hope for. Enjoy your time away. Rest and rejuvenate and know my thoughts and with you and yours.
