allison takes over the liberal

Last week, Allison gave me the copies of The Liberal I had begged her to pick up for me. I'll be donating one to Interfilk at OVFF, of course. Wow, hadn't realized how much of the front page her picture would cover! VERY cool. Happily, she got appropriately hassled at her school ;-) but she also got some surprise feedback, such as a letter from an old student of hers from early teaching days.

Got an article assignment from Writer's Digest yesterday for their special Yearbook issue, due the week Jeff & I get back from Vienna. Glad I'm taking my laptop. Also glad my tendinitis has much improved these days, though I'm still careful to take arm breaks. Many thanks to Andrea Dale for helping me with Market Watch while I'm away!

I have my laser surgery follow-up appointment today, wish me luck. I don't notice the shadow in my periphery as much anymore. Not sure if it's because it's shrunk or (more likely) my vision has adjusted around it.

Did more packing and prep yesterday, including buying an adaptor plug at The Travel Stop on Cumberland so I can charge up my laptop, iPod and digital camera batteries while I'm in Vienna, as well as a new neck pillow for the plane (my old one suffered a fatal leak on the way home from Nevada). Charged up my iPod and loaded it with new tunes and an audiobook (a history of jazz); I've decided to leave my Big New Book behind. Still hoping to sleep for most of the flight, though.
