Pre-Travel Spinning

Now that I'm about to get on a plane for bloody cold weather (Boston in January!?!), it's starting to get sunny where I live, after several days of rain and general nastiness. Isn't that always the way?

The last few minutes of the work day before being out of the office for 3, firing off several emails and other last-minute things to ensure (or create a reasonable atmosphere for) everyone's behaving themselves. [sorry, no good way to set up that parallel grammatical structure in the short time I have--you know what I mean]

Looking forward to reunions w/ friends I haven't seen for a while, former professors, friends I don't even know I'm going to run into, and friends I don't even know I have yet. Oh yea, and there's the work side too: meeting w/ several vendors reps and larnin' lots o' stuff. My last one of these I was freshly preggers and not imbibing, so at least I get to have a beer....
