I should mention that the lectures have been pretty stimulating... This huge library system and university is grappling with a very interesting set of issues. I'll write a bit more about it when it's not so late.
Two unrelated things:
One, I am so grateful for the ability to walk. I know it sounds ridiculous, but it is so cool to be able to just amble around and over and through. Despite a creaky knee, I started having some dim fantasies about planning a tip-to-tip hike of the UK some day. Perhaps right after the lottery plan comes together?
Two, the sobriety thing has actually been great. We went to a pub today and I had just as much fun ordering soda and lime at the bar as I ever did ordering anything alcoholic. After that and then the wine at the reception, there were some chatty (and wobbly) librarians in my party and it randomly struck me that I was quite satisfied without drinking. It's a nice feeling.
Anyhoo, my laundry is done but I'm behind on some reading for the paper that I need to write for this seminar -- I suspect that sleep will trump school, however. Goodnight!
