Back from the East! Plane flights were surprisingly uneventful. After a number of months with the laziest waking schedule ever (before we left, that is), being three hours ahead of California time is just strange. Woken up and ready to go at 8? Hungry for lunch at 9? I've been transported to crazy land!

I beat my dad at Carroms, which is a big thing, considering he never beat his father (nor had I, my gramps was both annoyingly *and* admirably unforgiving in not giving us an inch with his mad carrom skillz). I still have yet to beat my aunt, and still contend that my pop wasn't at his top game. But hey, there you have it.

I'm going to Italy! Got my plane ticket and everything and will be staying for two weeks in Bologna and wherever else I'll be allowed to go. I was surprised that my Passport hasn't expired yet. I got it in 2001 (and boy, does my picture show it) and evidently it lasts for 10 years. So cool.

I now have about two weeks before I leave, and a fair amount of socializing to fit in. Gotta call Mary (who I haven't talked to in ages, an old YPSO buddy) about those P.D.Q Bach Tickets. Gotta call Sascha so I can return her "Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" DVD set (and possibly ask if she'd be interested in an upcoming Davis Shindig). And I need to call Will and finally meet the guy! AND I've got the Prized Writing Awards to go to next week AND Coach's B-Day party! How the heck did this all pile up?

Maybe all this will keep me from return to my old eating habits. But being jet lagged definitely doesn't help when you feel hungry at the wrong hours of the day. Anywho, back to business.


Enough, More Later.
