alexpgpThe plane arrived a few minutes early last night, which was all to the good, because by the time we got home, it was nearly midnight. By the time everyone got settled down - chitchat dispensed with, presents distributed, trophies displayed, and life caught up with in general - it was nearly 1 am. I really missed Galina, and I'm really happy she's back. She looks good.
I woke a few minutes before 6 am and finished packing. I had packed my clothes last night before leaving for the airport to pick up Galina. This morning, I took care of last-minute hardware issues: computers, cables, batteries, books, CDs, and so on. As I really hate checking luggage, my task is to make sure I shove everything I need into two carry-on bags, while leaving enough "expansion room" for things I may acquire at the conference. I may not have left enough, but we'll see.
There is news that, perhaps, my Saturday afternoon presentation will be moved to Friday afternoon, where I will be immediately precede Patricia Newman and her talk on the role played by linguists in the ongoing disarmament discussions. If that turns out to be the case, I shall have to do a good job in my role of "opening act" and warm up the audience properly.
Off for the airport in 90 minutes.
Cheers...
