lol I would definitely not assume black coffee involved sambuca!
I am still awake at nearly 8am, though I am still in bed. I may go back to sleep now…

Black coffee with sambuca counts delicious! A good weekend morning drink.

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently, it was what the older male Italian set drank daily after lunch. (in my part of NY at least) Although Irish and female, I could embrace this custom

Ramadan started today, so since yesterday I've been mentally preparing myself to (read: worrying about) escalation. 1/10, do not recommend.
And ItotallyON, unless the flights will get canceled, I will be flying to NY in end of April and return here from SF a bit after May 18th. Details in the doc, you know where.
Hoping to meet as many of you as I can, and oh, I have some "where to stay?" and "commuting in US: is it rocket science?" questions.

Oh! That is good to hear, Shir. Of course, the part about you heading this way, not so much the reason for worry.

Until I'm on my way to the airport, I don't think I'm going to believe it. So many flights are canceled. But I'm very much looking forward to seeing many of you in person. East coast, I took a few extra days to travel down from NY to Baltimore and DC.
And if there's anything you'd like from Jerusalem/Israel, let me know! Happy to bring stuff with me.

Exciting! We will see you at Jacqueline's memorial. We don't get in until that morning and then leave the next morning, but we will be around for Buffista shenanigans that evening.

We're probably flying in Thursday night. I'm trying to decide if I'm taking Friday off or working from whatever hotel we're in. Hmm.

Working on the calendar of the visit. You'd be surprised how many times I have to remind myself that Sunday is a weekend, Friday is a weekday (every ten minutes or so).
