Notes and errata

I'm slowly recovering from a lovely bout of "Saddam's revenge" (think Montezuma's made local). It's not so terrible, but was made more interesting by the heat and activity of this area (needed an IV to prevent dehydration). I'm out of the woods and into some swampy meadows, and should be back on the road to over-extended metaphor in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

I am, fortunately, looking at having some more free time in the next couple of days, and so hope to have time to call more (assuming you pick up [pointed glance]). I've also started receiving mail, which is much appreciated. This however leads me to the following conclusion: I am only loved by the following people:

The Kohan family (who sent me a very lovely card)
My parents
A colegue of my father's (whose package, mentioning my last bout of naseua on Thanksgiving, arrived in the midst of this bout)

And that, apearantly, is it. No one else. I am abandoned to the insurgents and the desert winds by those I thought would care. Alas and Alack! I may not recover from the heartbreak.

1) screw you. my phone was dead and you should have seen how angry/upset i was when i got your voicemail. rules of the universe: if my phone is off for 20 seconds over a 2 week period, THAT is when you will call. [pointed glance]

2) i need to TALK to you to figure out what to send you... i have a HUGE bag full of things for you.

3) there are cookies on the way... and just for that smartassy comment I hope they are stale (despite how much Katelyn cried and begged the postman to send them fast so they wouldn't be)

4) well, there is no 4, but you make me so angry that there should be. :-P

5) for some odd reason, it is safe to say you are loved by more than just 3 people...

oh, and

6) they call it Khmer's revenge in Thailand. While I was smart about the water, I neglected to think what was used to make the ice in the margharitas. :) I am so smart. S-M-R-T.
