Definitely going to take the train. And James is definitely coming with me. Here’s how it breaks down:
Seattle - Chicago leg: “Superliner Roomette” (basically two chairs and a table, folds down into a bunk that takes up the whole room). Includes meals. 45 hours.
Chicago - Indianapolis leg: Coach seats [...]

I have five vacation days left that I need to take before the end of the year. One idea I had was to use a few extra days at Christmas (the 27th-29th are freebies since the office is closed) and take the train to my parents’ instead of flying. The train from Seattle [...]

From my mom. She sent me:
$3.05 in Canadian Tire money
A bunch of 14 and 17 cent stamps, and one 5 cent and one $2. These are all so old that they’re the licky kind, but the adhesive has worn off. Plus one newer 85 cent stamp.
A little note that says: “Hi Elaine, [...]

I was up at the butt-crack of dawn this morning (ON A SATURDAY!?) to get party stuff done, including being at Famous Foods a few minutes before it opened. They have a whole AISLE for freeze-dried vegetables, so now I’ve got my dairy-free soup mix. I love them.

I felt excellent this morning and was up and about at 6:45. Spent a bit of time reading, tidied my room a bit, ate breakfast, made my lunch… at 8 I went over to James’ house and he answered the door wearing a blanket, because he hadn’t even gotten up yet. And he [...]

Bike’s all fixed up now. She needed both derailleurs adjusted, plus the right brake lever and left front brake pad, and the front wheel was a bit out of true. He had a good look over it too… few scratches on the aluminum but all superficial and the carbon looks fine. So [...]
