Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This is where I mention that there is an open invitation to anyone who would like to come for a weekend and help me decide what clothes are super ugly on me and should be removed from closet.

If I could figure out a way to make this happen, I would. Plus, I could fairy gothmother Mac and cajole/terrorize him into doing his homework!

a) Casting season is approaching fast.

b) Goth/alt is verra popular right now.

c) DO EEEEET!

Time to go email my Agent of Awesome and get her perspective!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I did totally check the JetBlue sale to see if there was Boston-Dallas, but no. Also, there is no way I should go out of town before February, which is when the sale is running, but whatever. Details!

I was afraid this would happen after I sold them.

Nerts. I wasn't sure if you'd sold them yet.

Librarian Warlord

I have Holiday Party problems... The BigBoss used to subsidize the library party - where for the past 30 years there has always been BBQ - to the tune of about $1K. While everyone would understand that the BigBoss, with his BigSalary, is no longer around to do that, and that the University has said no parties with university funds, it still breaks my little black heart to offer this staff nothing but a cookie and a shrug.

They are being asked to bake for the school's party, our Thanksgiving thing is traditionally a pot luck, and we have a retirement thing they are also being asked to contribute to -- so I hate to ask them again.

I'll discuss this in a meeting tomorrow with the department heads, but any ideas from creative thinkers would be appreciated . . .

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, my god, I just had the best massage. I am a puddle of goo. I will be a puddle of pain tomorrow in certain areas, but so worth it.

Also, crap, I'm going to Orlando on Friday. I should pack.

If you were asked to write an executive summary of an event, what would you include? Keep it short, state the goals and key takeaways?

Pretty much. In general, go short. They love short. No more than a couple of pages.

Thanks. That's what I figured.
