aithne | I actually appear to be doing this thing.

The last thing I have to pack is my thumb drive, but since I'm still writing that will wait until tonight. Juniper is brushed, my office and bedroom are cleaned as much as they're going to be, my library books are returned, and I've done everything I can do to put my life on hold for a couple of weeks.

The taxi will be here at 7 tomorrow morning.

I'll probably post tomorrow night from Philly and then I'll be mostly incommunicado until the 26th. I'm going to try to send updates to Twitter, which you can follow at http://twitter.com/aithne .

Otherwise, see you all in 17 days...
