Hey folks.  Back at the mill for 3 days after a couple of weeks staying with 
L and K (thanks again guys!) for 
S and D's wedding (which was lovely).  We also got to see 
 T and P for the first time in...well, entirely too long.  Oregon was beautiful (as usual) and somewhat 
beverage-centric (as always) and time seemed to stand still and fly by at the same time.  
Now the happy couple is allegedly in New Zealand (though this is exactly where I would tell everyone I was if I just wanted to hole up in my house for a month and not be bothered), the guests are scattered once again to the four winds, and I leave town again 
on Thursday tomorrow (!) night, because my presence is required for bachelorific festivities in Austin, TX.  But first I have to wade through the pile of data I left before I left the last time, write a pithy abstract that I thought was due at the end of the month but I recently found out is due, um, 
today, get started on a poster and talk (both to be presented next month, one of which I also just found out about), go shopping for 3-oz toiletries so I don't have to check a bag for a three-night trip (during which I probably won't sleep anyway), repair the p-trap in the kitchen sink that disintegrated this morning just as I was about to step out the door, and oh yes plan something for 
[m]'s birthday which is imminent.  
Yeah, so what I am doing here?  
(scampers off)
