I won’t even open the massive can of worms that is our Que/O-town trip. Until I get some e-photos from the kind ladies with the digital cams, there really is no point trying to describe what will go down in my young-ish history as an epic trip through two capital cities. I think that there’s also some Churchill Dins pics coming down the pipe also…very glam-eriffic (just to whet y’all’s appetite - Jon & I are NOT predominantly featured in the 2nd pic @ the day-after’s Churchill Lecture with Chris Matthews).
A major footnote to the yet-to-be-posted-pics will be that these kinds of trips bring out from the woodwork peeps & former colleagues that you haven’t been in touch with for too long.
This seems to be a reoccurring theme of lates, with other GTA & elsewhere former co-students/workers/buds arising for some Xmas checkups & updates. I am starting to realize that there is no way that I can ever ever keep up with all my correspondence….unless i take a chunk out of the correspondence-time devoted to my MPP…ahh boo…but true.
We reciprocated hosting duties with the Federal versions of ourselves at work this week & it was….interesting….The best advice on the (long-history/tradition) of thorny relations came from an O-town cab driver who lamented: “Oh -anonymousblank-, if it wasn’t for all the -anonymousblank-s you wouldn’t appreciate each other so much.” Words to live by & proof positive that it pays to call shotgun in cabs every single time.
Hopefully I can ride gunner from C’est What to the Docks demain soir…after work I’m heading to Iron & Wine & Calexico with my buds & I need to brush up on my newer Calexico catalogue tomorrow a.m…..multi-tasking , kids…vital….
Wish I’d taken my own advice on that front & NOT stayed too late last night furiously crafting up a speech (which turned out to be the most negative one on the sched…even among the other opp members - ahh boo again!) & almost missing the ANTM finale. Crucial.
Anyway, back to real-work-ish & no more Zoolander-referencing e-mails.
peace
