L'shana tova, everyone!

May the new year dawn bright and sweet, and may the worst day of 5766 be better than the best day of 5765 for us all, personally and as a world's population.




Me, I spent the weekend run-away-from-home, off in a distant city doing on-site research for one book that turned out to also be research for another book, letting a hotel coddle me (and my cough-sniffle), and generally reconnecting with my inner sloth (who isn't actually all that slothful, but relative to my usual self I was positively indolent). Many thanks again to agamisu, who suggested the trip in the first place, and made such a wonderful city-host/tour guide.

And now to type up all my notes, have my photos developed, and download and wade through all the e-mail that piled up while I was gone... (oh, and apologize some more to Pandora, who is Deeply Peeved that I went away without her again).


ETA: And why the hell is it that no matter what non-local city I end up in, by my second day someone will stop me and ask me for directions? And not always in English, either?

(three times, this weekend. Once I was able to help, the other two I just shrugged and did my best 'stranger here myself' routine.)

Home again, home again, jiggety jig!

more like jiggety-thud. But the brain's working overtime from all the Stuff.

5766 already? I'm still writing 5760 on my checks!

Have a happy new year!

My cats get upset when I go away without them too.

In fact, the only thing they'd like less then my travelling without them would be my taking them with me.

'Twas a pleasure.

L'Shana Tova to you and yours as well.
