A too-brief summary. It took all weekend, didn't it?

[ladiesbane]

Despite getting off early on Friday, we didn't get out for a long time, and almost didn't go to Lonely Mountain at all -- Honey got some good news, and it was hard to leave! But the LIW tip waits for no man, and we drove north in good time. Everyone says Lonely Mountain Defender is the best event of the year -- the gorgeous scenery (like a more-

Ah, I'm glad you know what I mean about BofA -- it rather blew my mind. I'm not going to Artemisian anniversary either, unfort, but at least I won't miss you again!

And I'm delighted that you are having a great time. Can't tell you how envious I am -- but you knew that!

Seth's creepy ex used to be a dear friend of mine, so I can certainly throw down (or up) her name: Lili de Caen. I'm told that she and her long-term other live with Lili's consort in Beaverton. Lili (m/k/a Andrea) is brilliant, and witty, and fun as hell. (I was Smithers to her Mr. Burns for a decade, so I ought to know!)

I would still adore her had I not discovered that she had told big lies about me, far and wide, since Day One -- which boils down to me saying that you should NOT avoid her, or even mistrust her more than any other stranger. But I would strongly recommend not mentioning that you have made my acquaintance, unless you want to be treated to a (possibly quite creative, yet probably not at all truthful) diatribe against yours truly. Your choice, m'dear, and I've no problem either way.

I'll remember that. Don't know that I'll be going back, anyway. If it was easier to get there I might give it another shot, but traffic getting over to Beaverton from here is AWFUL. They're tearing up the 205 in BOTH directions, it's down to ONE lane each way for a while. And on a Friday night, that's just BAD.

Oh, M, feel free to forget it -- how eminently forgettable! Normally I wouldn't vent that way, but I've been home or the past two days with a head cold that is bending my brain. I'm beyond mental right now. (More so than usual, of course.)

I am appalled to realize that my homesickness for Oregon even extends to the eternal cycle of roadwork, can you believe it? But I was always a Tri-Met girl. Do I mind another twenty minutes on the road when I am in an air-conditioned bus, reading a book, and NOT making dinner, cleaning, or pacing the floor? Not. A. Problem.

Oh, I love Tri-Met. Totally with you on that. Not a tough choice.
