• Life keeps getting more and more interesting.  Work has erupted in
  several fires, one of which is taking me to Spokane Sunday evening
  through Wednesday.  I think it’s not really necessary for me to be
  there, but it apparently makes everyone else feel better, so off I
  go.  And that means I get to spend the weekend coming up with
  talking points for all the stupid meetings I now anticipate having to
  have.  Sigh.  Oh well, I haven’t been up in that neck of the
  woods in years, so I’ll hopefully have a little time in the evenings to
  drift around a bit. 

  I guess I shouldn’t complain too much.  The job is sending me to
  San Francisco for a two-day  conference and then to Australia for
  a week to visit our operations there, and my boss told me that she
  expected I’d be taking time off to see the sights while visiting both
  places.  I imagine I’ll take the first three days of the week off
  for the San Francisco trip, and at least a week (maybe two) for the Oz
  trip.  I’m researching now to figure out what I most want to
  see.  It’s a whole damn continent (not to mention New Zealand),
  and I can’t see everything!  O suggested that I try to make an SCA
  event while I’m out there.  She’s going off into fantasies of
  making a fabulous dress that will wow them all, so I can tell them that
  *that’s* how Ansteorran Roses always dress!  If we actually do it,
  I’m gonna owe her big time (maybe she’ll barter for jewelry?).

  That’s it for now.  At least I’m now remembering to occasionally log on and write stuff!
