The board just did something weird. Sorry about that.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

I thought that was just your puckish side coming out. :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom, you got yourself a place to stay in LA, complete with two friendly dogs, one cuddly cat and one, well, much-less-cuddly cat.

When's it gonna be? If you want to do southwest national parks and you get out our way, our house is always open to you. I just ask when, because, you know, I'm not actually in the house at the moment.

I like the idea of a National Park tour. Yosemite is also awesome, although it's hard to get reservations in the summer.
There's always touring the Atlantic coast--you could go to Nova Scotia and work your way down, eating lobster and fried clams all the way...
I need to figure out when I'm going to Boulder, which will be my only vacation this year, I think, and it'll probably just be a long weekend anyway.

I went to Yosemite last year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But that does make me wonder if your dress code defines "mini."
No. It says skirts of appropriate length, which I've been interpreting as "longer than where my fingertips reach when standing straight."
But I understand that's miniskirt territory. I just thought it was okay for LA. However...financial industry.
I'm being kept out of the loop on something I'm normally in the loop on because my boss wants me 100% on another project. I don't like the feeling. I want my old spot back.

We did that when I was 16. Actually, we started in Chicago, drove towards Maine along the eastern edge of the Great Lakes, stopped by Niagara Falls and then the White Mountains in New Hampshire, then stayed four days in Bar Harbor, took the ferry to Nova Scotia for two days, then down the Maine coast to Boston before driving home. Ate too much lobster in those two weeks, to the point where I actually decided on fried shrimp for lunch one day because I was sick of lobster. Back then, in 1982, lobster was available at the cheap harbor shacks for only $5 a pound for fresh-caught lobsters. Have no idea what it is now, but it has to be a lot more than $5!

You should go to New Orleans for the early part of that and then come Westward and go to LA, SF, and Seattle! :) ...ok, maybe that's overly ambitious. (ETA: if you do want to come to Seattle, I've got a guest room!)
