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

I've only met her once, but her husband is a regular in my class, and I taught her oldest daughter over the summer.

Always Anti-fascist!

That is cool. I've really gotten a taste for Middle Eastern food.

Went to lunch with my brother the restauranteur, and was surprised to learn he didn't know what harissa is. OTOH he is in Chicago, but still. Turns out roasted cauliflower with harissa is really tasty.

Nice day off, although I didn't get a ton done. Did file some papers, and determined that I underpaid my father's taxes -- but not by much, which is a relief.

Now I'm going to drink a manhattan and read some Patricia McKillip.

Hil, that's really cool.

And Cinderella gets to go to the ball! Boss lady convinced one of the overnight staff to cover my shift for me so I can go to the banquet.

Aaaaaaaah, I hate my shoes!

I'm not getting into that msbelle, but I support you in email. Or yknow, right here.

I'm surprised at that too, Consuela! Though to be honest I've had it but couldn't really tell you what it tastes like, though I've enjoyed it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

WS, how cool you get to go! Put Chucks on, they go with everything now!

msbelle, I just saw that! How utterly stupid. I thought it was a joke.

All right, I made it to Abu Dhabi. Wearing a wireless bra definitely was the right choice for the additional security screening here, because this time I didn't have to go into a booth to get wanded by a lady. (That's what she said.)

Business Class is SO NICE.

shrift, I'm glad you got there safely.

Zen, I don't have any Chucks, New Balance will have to do. Dress for the event is "Sunday best". I hsve no dresses that fit me. What I do have is an utterly gorgeous red silk brocade jacket that I got as an amazing score at a thrift store a few years ago. I wore it when I testified before the state legislature's Commitee on Aging and Long Term Care, with a plain t-shirt that matches ine of the colors in the embroidery, and black pants. I figure if I wear that jacket, no one will be looking at anything else I have on. I will take a black magic marker to the scuffs on my old shoes, though.
