Okay...

It went as well as it ever could have gone. Let's just say that and move on.

I did something today that I haven't done in a long time. I sat in a coffee shop and read a book. A novel. I'm not even joking. It was outstanding. Then I went to lunch with someone who shares my career trajectory and finalizing issues, as well as one other important defining characteristic that I'll let you all guess at, and it was wonderful. We planned our summer plans and rubbed fuzzy kitten bellies and based on this, I think it is going to be a wonderful summer.

I did, in fact, find someone to feed my cats, so I'm heading to the North Fork to sit and try and reclaim a little of the relaxation I found in Jamaica those few short, and yet oh-so-long, weeks ago. And I'm going to keep reading that book! I'd forgotten how enjoyable a book can be...
