Trip

I'm at Logan waiting for my flight back to Dulles. It was delayed due to weather, but I've found a place to plug in my laptop.

This weekend has been fantastic. I made gravlax for the party. Introduced eanja to Sapphire and Steel and talked to her for many hours.

On Thursday, I got to see thorbol and moria923 in the afternoon. Bessie, thorbol's dog thought I was the greatest and left me lots of hair. It was good to talk to them. I found out some mutual friends will be moving to DC. I hope I can convince them to move close by.

Later, I spent the evening with siderea. Great food, better conversation. She looked well and content.

Friday, I found out that the Harvard Museums are undergoing renovation, so they are mostly closed. It turned out to be a good thing I stayed home. Sis called me. Dad's oncologist has determined that chemo is doing more damage than the Waldenstrom's. We ended up talking for a long time. Keep your finger's crossed she has two potential jobs. One would be as an editor, but it's non-union so no health insurance; the other would be as an assistant which is less money (and less prestige), but it's union and has health benefits.

Saturday was the party. I saw atricilla and her beau. They introduced me to nyren and through him I met contradictacat. I saw several other people who aren't on LJ, but are old friends. Plus I got a couple of chances to talk to sunspiral and roozle. It was my first time seeing the firespinning. Deeply cool.

Sunday I spent with John and Eithne of Canterbury at the MFA. In the evening, I saw nyren.

All in all, it's been a wonderful weekend. I can't thank eanja enough for letting me stay with her.

I'm still smiling, no matter the weather or the delays.
