I'm in Texas. Hard to believe.

So, with the help of my loving brother, I got to the airport just in time to stand in a security line of 150 and barely make my plane to Dallas. The three hour flight was spent reading the Economist, fidgeting in my Bannana Republic suit, reviewing Mary's charming play and working on my own novella, which my neighbor in 12C tried to read over my ( Read more... )

Nice hotel room! Even if they gave you a crummy stipend The Firm is taking pretty good care of you :)

That must be a really small market.

Heh. I knew you'd remember! Houray!

We just had our second day. It was all on The Firm's technology.... oh god, IT people are not necessarily the best public speakers. (You of course defy all stereotypes!) Today kind of hurt.

That said, tonight there will be jacuzzi time! Wish you were here to join in the fun...

Gosh, I should send you pictures of the hostel (!) that I get to stay in for my work at CERN-you'll be sooo jealous! Also, are you planning to use the bed to its full potential?

I couldn't use the bed to its fullest potential because we started to run out of room-- I had to turn the last of my suitors away, with tears in their eyes. My life is so difficult.

By the way, your hostel in EUROPE trumps my 4 star hotel in TEXAS any, and indeed every, day of the week, I assure you!

you're so chic, my love.

Yes, Clever Catbird, I'm dreadfully impressed! You really are an embryonic stockbroker (I knew it all along), and you're going to be very, very good at this! How long is Mr. Directions staying? Is he a potential prospect? (By the way, I meant that in the business sense.) Anyway, can't wait for the next installment of "Clever Catbird's Adventures in Irving." TTFN!
