    OT: The up-side of housecleaning

    Houff! What a job it was washing every nook and cranny, waxing the floors even under and behind the utilities. But the one fun part of emptying out and cleaning the apartment was emptying out the freezer. HAD to finish off that last pint of Babcock Ice Cream (coffee and truffles). Must not waste! Must not waste! ... Oh dear. Did I hear waist? Noooo, nobody said waist, did they?

    Moving. Sabbatical year is over. Two weeks vacation in CA, then back home to Norway. Oh, and then meeting in South Africa, class reunion in CA, back to Norway again, meeting in Switzerland, and THEN back to Norway for a couple months stretch before the next meeting (Vancouver in November).

    You are one peripatetic duck! What an interesting life. Have a great time! I'm so darned glad that the internet is truly the world wide web. And yes, I agree, a Bike Friday seems to be in order! Looking forward to hearing your world-wide adventures. L.

    Enjoy your trips and the meetings! And how very mindful of you to not waste the ice cream - with all that cleaning, you earned it anyway

    And yes - it would appear that you NEED a Bike Friday!
