Yeah, I assume three months for my new employees to really get up to speed.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Herding cats for fun
Binged all the episodes of Black Books awhile back. I don't know how Dylan Moran was unrelenting curmudgeonly without making me loathe his character, but it was quite enjoyable.

A bit of a long shot and random, but - are there any Buffistas in or with knowledge of Lawrence, KS? A wonderful friend that I love dearly will be there for an academic conference in April. She really hates flights so I am looking for things that might lift her spirits while she's there (a good vegan place, general recommendations, etc.).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woke up this morning, got in the shower, and heard my neighbor running the snowblower! I didn't think we were supposed to get much snow, and it turns out, we didn't -- just a couple of inches. I just think he likes the new machine. Also last night I was afraid I had pinkeye, but now I think it was just something in my eyeball.
In short, I am at work.

That's a big yes here. I worked in downtown Lawrence until last Friday.
She definitely should go to downtown Lawrence on Massachusetts street, or 'Mass' as people say. There are a lot of unique and interesting shops there, and lots of great food. If she likes beer she can check out Free State Brewery (also a great place to eat) or Lawrence Beer Company (two of my former co-workers are part owners). Just strolling around that area and poking into interesting-looking places can be fun.

The KU museum of Natural History is also pretty cool. It's right the KU campus.

Prairie Park can also be a nice place to visit if she has an interest in nature and seeing the native plants of the area.

No problem. Lawrence is a great town. Very different from the rest of Kansas (not that Kansas is bad)
