At the moment, still here, hoping the weather stays nice long enough this afternoon to let us do some alpaca maintenance (blood draws, vaccines, and drench/worm). And then I *really* need to get the artwork for the Crown Tourney T-shirt inked. Thank your gods of choice that Maggie has volunteered to color it.

Had a yummy birthday dinner for Sharon last night at Zebibbo’s — the portabella mushrooms with whatever that stuff they were with was really really good. The “mixed leaf salad with Cabernet Sauvignon vinagrette” was disappointing, mostly because the “vinagrette” didn’t seem to have any vinegar in it. The fries were the perfect crispy-outside, fluffy-inside, and the mousse was good. The company, of course, was superb.

We’ve got some lovely house/cat/paca-sitters lined up, and they will be relieved to know that Stephen’s got the hot water working again (but not half so relieved as me). Friday, Steph is dancing & I’d like to try and make it to that; we’ve got a party at a neighbor’s house Saturday (the ones with the really expensive fencing, who may be getting alpacas), then Sunday we’re away.

For Those Upon Whom We Will Be Decending, here’s the rough itinerary:
Atlanta (and bits of Florida) from Sun 29. Philly and points nearby from Fri 03. Popping into Long Island on the 8th, to make dance class in Boston on the 9th. Moseying back Philly-wards the 13th or 14th, then out for the 16th in Tuscon, and away on the 17th, losing a couple days in transit to arrive back in sunny, it’s-Spring-now-no-really Wellington on Sunday the 19th. Then back to work Monday the 20th ! Ack !
