What I Did Today, Teechur:
Sitting at my hotel in North Carolina; I'm really tired, and will probably go to bed soon. As I'd guessed, my stamina is for sludge, and lugging around the usual stuff in the airports and to my room alone did me in. Had a quiet dinner at the hotel's main restaurant, with a friend from work who is also here for the web conference. She tried to talk to me about various highlights for our trips to Las Vegas next month, and to interest me in Sudoku.
A couple of weeks ago, Mere bought a bear beanie baby that holds a DAD in its arms; that and a clothie (read: cloth diaper, the sort that she holds in her hand and sucks her thumb with - a vital thing...) to remind me of her love, along with a bookmark that says MY HERO IS MY DAD. *blush*
The books with me are Guthire's THE BIG SKY and M. Elaine Mar's PAPER DAUGHTER. The former is about 70% done, and an excellent read about the mountain men of the west prior to the Oregon Trail period, and the latter is a memoir of the author's youth in the 60s and 70s in Hong Kong and America - her family were poor immigrants from the part of China Mere's from, and she does a wonderful job of bringing her small-child-self alive, complete with the wonder and views of a small child. I'm falling in love with Guthrie's writing about the West, too; this is the second of his books in this series I've gobbled.
