whew!
late last night, i returned from (possibly) my last official week of work with "giant-global-financial-institution" for the entire year. it was capped off by my first (and hopefully last) ever losing trip to las vegas. so, here is what you may have missed in my 3 week absence:
- on what can only be called a "debrief day" in san diego last week, the cool breeze and low temperatures convinced me that i would not burn in the sun...i, of course, was wrong.
- i have nothced up 3 more ballparks on my tour.
- my laptop computer (aka: the devil) and my eddie bauer suitcase (aka: the devil's suitcase) have made their last trips anywhere. they are hereby retired from public life.
- i have the opportunity to fly into the interior of mexico in the next few weeks to shoot a mission documentary....with my dad. (i could not be more excited about this.)
- i accidentally washed my cellphone after an exhausting round of 100 degree golf and was forced to buy a too-expensive replacement WITH a dreaded camera-phone.
- the more i listen to it, the more i love the new coldplay album.
- i read nick horby's high fidelity and am mostly through about a boy. why have i never read him 'til now?
- thanks to a grumpy old man, i now want to visit china more than ever.
- on that tip, i am going to paris next year for the french open if it kills me. (possible sidejaunt to scotland giddily noted.)
- i have no job, no money and i am planning not 1, not 2, but THREE trips to foreign countries.
- i need a job.
- having been in kansas city, texas AND calfornia in the past 21 days...beverly feels like home.

We're glad you're home, bun.
do you want to work for Scary Chemical Company? They apparently only post jobs in Boston.
me working at scary chemical company would be, well...scary.
besides, i don't want to take away YOUR job. ha ha.
leanne-
careful.
BUT...if you took my job, I could apply at Ridiculously Low-Funded Child Counseling Facility.
as per hornby...i don't know why. he is a remarkably humane writer.
as per beverly...we're incomplete without you.
I'll go work for the scary chemical company. It wouldn't be the first time I worked with scary things.
Krista, It's less scary things as scary people. It also helps if you have a PhD because as it turns out PhDs can do ANYTHING.
Cade, the paris/scotland jaunt makes me jealous. Jerk. Good thing you've got that new cameraphone to take pictures.
the day i actually USE my camera phone instead of one of my others will be the end of the world. period.
I can work with scary people-I've done it before. Besides, who says I'm not doing it now.
Am sharing your growing like for Coldplay's "X&Y"
