Sabbatical

In the cramming for guests who will arrive any moment (the most ever, so I'm nervous!), I entirely forgot to write. 

What in the world is Yard Sale Pizza? 

The view from my window

Yesterday I took the train north to work. It's always great to work from an office there--it's nice to chat with other people. And I'm stuck with absolutely nothing to distract me like dishes. Plus, I stayed late for a talk so I worked till 5, which is later than usual. Amazing how much one can do in a full day. My final (!) chapter (barring the conclusion, so don't get too excited) is underway and picking up a tiny bit of momentum. Plus I'm prepping for a presentation--I get to travel a little next week. 

In the afternoon I attended a seminar--so much fun. Then the two presenters invited me to dinner--one insisted on paying and one insisted on taking me to the train station in an uber (I always walk). So that was entertaining. 

Francisco makes sure I have cutting edge fashion.
