an interlude at the office

[fflo]

Back at MR for a coupla days before being off again. I do like the dropping by the office for a spot of work here & there occasionally. Imagine if it could always be that way, say, in the summers. Just for June--August, you work 3 or 4 days every two weeks, as you choose 'em. You know, since we can't have some kinda whacky European commie several-weeks-off for the commoners thing.

Had fun with my houseguest & the folks I managed to introduce her to. Also enjoyed cooking out, and felt good---as I'd anticipated---to have O back at the house, Now Under New Management (if retaining a decided air of the previous going concern).

It's good to have my guest coming back for a brief second appearance, too. Took the pressure off trying to fit everything in while she was here before, which I reckon faciliated our mostly laid-back, casual time just hangin' & playing it by ear. Also, having her coming back means getting to hear the poop on her conference in Toronto, and (believe it or not) I'm much looking forward to that debriefing. Not to mention---if she wins a free iPod, she's giving it to me.

Back to work.

Glad to hear you had a good weekend. Cooking out is awesome, I don't do it nearly enough.

Me neither. It seems a little wasteful to do it for one, you know?

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Indeed.

Are you still planning to bake cookies with Jeff? We could just do that, or we could make some other child-friendly stuff too. He wants to go to Zingerman's because I liked it when I was out there last year. And we should definitely take him to the White Castle--he'll get a kick out of the little burgers. Of course, we can't quite revisit our earlier documented trip(s) to the White Castle with a kid there.

Hey, I'm up for almost anything. To me the kid's at a great age---terribly easy to entertain, as long as you pay attention to him. Or has he grown out of that?

I'd forgotten about baking cookies. The world is our oyster!

That userpic/icon/avatar and barbecue go together in a disturbing way for me. Barbecued cat zombie brains?
