lsandersonThis month draws to end. The toilet is scheduled to arrive today. The walls are not ready, so it will sit in its box.
I woke up around three, and like a fool sat down here and tried to get a reservation at the Boston Sheraton. Oddly enough, at 3:00 am, I got the reservation, not the first time I tried in the Party Room Block, but the second time I tried in the Non-Party Room Block. I tried for two rooms, but could not get them. Next is a plane ticket, and then the France question.
All of the pieces are here for the bathroom to assemble itself. Now if only it would. Or if the walls would so I could call the plumbers and say "Come put this together." And then there would be water and a toilet again on the second floor. I find myself obsessing the farther I need to go to get to one. Of course, drinking a can of ice tea while reading in bed probably is still not a wise idea with the only toilet one floor up or two floors down.
Laura Jean and I finally got off our thank-you notes for Minicon. We've been running behind. I spent half of Wiscon running around avoiding Sharyn because I had the letter sitting unprinted on this computer. At least it's now sitting in the mailbox with a Cassatt stamp on it. (Except for those that I need addresses for.)
My family reunion, which I transposed with the upcoming weekend, is next weekend. I'm still undecided about heading off to the wilds of Dakota but at least it's not against CONvergence.
The papers are not here yet. I was going to unsubscribe from the Stribune after they refused to run the Gay Pride ad. Have not yet. I've been reading parts of the Times online. Krugman's got a good column. Greenfield corrects the earlier headlines about the Bush "victory" at the SCOTUS. I hope those judges appreciate the monster they've let loose upon the land.
Work is busy, and I've started dumping a huge chunk of my paycheck into a 401k. It's like working more and not getting paid for it for ten years. Yes please, more stick.

What I'd watch, if I was going late, would be the Hilton across the street. Right now, they don't have any rates, but if they're still looking dark come a month or so before, expect them to get cheap, fast.
(Why the Hilton isn't part of the block is another story, and one I might be under a non-disclosure, so I won't say more.)
Uhm...
