Haven't been posting, haven't been sending emails, oh, so many things have I not been doing. Between work, houseguests, and getting ready to leave town it was hard to decide whether to type a blow-by-blow of events or to reflect on and process them. I'm too tired to do either right now but that's an easy out, isn't it?
I'm in a foofy bed and breakfast in Pacific Grove, California. Across the street from the ocean! Exciting! It was too dark to actually see the ocean by the time I got here but that's all the more reason to get up in the morning tomorrow. I took a hot bath when we got here, and then we walked to an unpromising-looking restaurant where we got our order in just before that of a group of 18 rich kids and I had an incredibly high-quality-for-the-money shrimp salad (though Wm thought his lamb shank had been cooked in Campbells CoM). We got here so late because of my deadline issues and one of us missing the I-505 turnoff, but never mind that. Onward. I don't have any work and I'm not home so I'm on vacation for the weekend or until Allen Press summons me.
I had a good time with Levi and his gf on their visit. I learned to play Texas Hold 'Em, and we played black-light pirate-themed miniature golf, hiked to the top of Multnomah Falls, saw the Escher exhibit at the Portland Art Museum, went to two movies, and, ah, we did various other awesome things. Awesome activity will continue into the next week, and then there is a forecast of hard work, paid and otherwise.
