I might have to make more risotto

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Kristin! I had no idea of that bit of history of the Statue of Liberty and I grew up in NY. Thank you. I love to learn something new every day.
{{GC}} Take it easy. Better to take off a day now than three later.
beth, please to give the recipe for tonight's mushroom risotto because for some unknown reason I have never made risotto. That is wrong.

Fun pictures. I have to say that the move has apparently been good for you, Suzi. You look relaxed and happy. Nice to see.
Also, embarrassed that I posted in Beep Me in error in response to msbelle because I thought I was in Natter. Apparently it is past my bedtime. I start to drift off about 9pm these days. Should really be in bed by 10, but I haven't seen the House repeat I am watching. Back to work schedule tomorrow.

OK, I've got all my clothes and slides and everything set out for tomorrow. Trying not to panic. A friend and I practiced our talks on each other today, and I made a few revisions based on his comments, so it's not like this is the first time I'll be saying this stuff. (This is actually a version of a talk I've given a bunch of times before, but with a lot cut out because I've got less time, and a different focus.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, you are going to be brilliant.
Much ~ma to Theodosia and her mom, and to msbelle and her mac.

You look relaxed and happy
Awwwww, thanks. As long as Belinda is no where near me, I'm pretty good.
House stuff has taken an unexpected bad turn, I'm hoping we can get it back on track tomorrow, but who knows.

All is well that ends in pizza.

You'll do great, Hil. You are well prepared and it is comfortable material if not venue.
Suzi, every single real estate transaction I have dealt with had last minute huge obstacles and stress. Sending bunches of ~ma in your direction for a smooth conclusion.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
pretty sure you'll rock it, hil

Thanks, everyone.
I can't remember ever being this nervous before. And I don't actually have anything to be nervous about -- I'm not being graded, I'm not being judged, and no one will be listening with any purpose other than learning what I have to say. (Or just waiting around to learn what the next person has to say, because it's a session of a bunch of back-to-back short talks, so if you want to hear one, you've got to stay for a bunch.)
It's just, this is an actual conference. Not just a locally-organized thing, but an actual national conference. Eek.
