I've never drunk dialled.  But judging from my inbox, I have e-mailed under the influence of medication.  They need to write that on the bottles.
Trudy, I'm so sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through. I hope you get through this as peacefully as possible.

I have organized all of my Portland info and am now transferring info to the new address book I bought at Powell's (from yesterday's trip when I actually followed my "no buying til you finish even one of the six books I brought up here" rule)  while the pretty wee candle I bought at Illuminations (flavor: Fresh Air) is flickering pretty.  If I had remembered to bring the smaller iPod speaker dock?  I would have the ideal travelling set-up here.  Quite content.  And totally in love with this city.
	
 
		
		
Cass, any chance you will be in Portland again the first week in March? Maybe we can road trip when I am in Seattle in a few weeks. 
	
 
		
		
falls into thread
I've graded 12 essays. Do I really have to do eight more? Donwanna.
In fact, not gonna. So there, grading, take THAT!
	
 
		
		
I'll grade them - I haven't graded essays in YEARS.  Which reminds me of how old I felt this week.  I was chatting with a co-worker that I've known for a couple years, we used to work on the same project.  He's the same age as the kids I taught high school!  I could be hanging out with former students!  Weird.
And Kristin, you are a big old sweetie-head!  Sorry I wasn't around, but the DH had to get a paper done for his masters program that was due yesterday, so I had to be elsewhere.
Do we know anything about this eBay seller? [link] Their stuff seems really inexpensive.
Also, should it surprise me that my Dressed to Kill and Full Monty DVDs are stuck together?
	
 
		
		
More {{{{Trudy}}}}, just cause.
Poor ChiKat, being worked to death!
Kristin, did you get your essays graded?
I need to be being productive, but I just don't feel like it. I was so productive yesterday; it feels like I should get a break. Unfortunately, that's not how it works.
	
 
		
		
Many hugs to Trudy.
I already said this elsewhere, but Olivia is such a cutie.  We went to a party last night where there were two babies - 2 and 3 months old.  They were both boys, but they were still tiny.  I had forgotten how small a new baby is.
	
 
		
		
Why do I wait and decide things at the last minute? I decided to apply for this scholarship to Oxford. The submissions are due next Monday. I've e-mailed three professors, asking for letters of recommendations. I've only heard back from one. And the other two would be the stronger recommendations. So, I'm a little frustrated. One of the profs is on sabatical this semester and is only checking his e-mail every couple of weeks. The other usually gets back right away, so I'm surprised. Maybe something is up with his family or something.
So, I've e-mailed a backup professor, but I don't know who else to get to write a third recommendation. I could ask my former boss, but I'm not sure that's the strongest... I'm stuck.

Is there a departmental secretary you could call, who might be able to give him a head's up about your email?

Hee! That would be the same woman collecting the submissions.
