Tom is Away

you should probably not believe the rumors that i got sunburned in ireland.
although, in my (hypothetical) defense, we are in southern ireland.

on the way to the dingle peninsula tomorrow.

in waterford for the night. leaving tomorrow for kinsale, then kenmare.

i haven’t driven a mile yet.

okay. now i’m packing.

packing, maybe.

panicking a little about what i’m gonna do in my classes in the fall.

graduation yesterday, wedding today, dublin tomorrow.

I’m unavailable at the moment.

hanging on the deck, possibly having a couple drinks to celebrate tim officially being a doctor.

up much earlier than i’d like to be, then at tim’s pharmacy school graduation. Looking forward to hearing 500 names I can’t pronounce, then Tim’s.

here’s what I would like to happen– i would like every irish website I open to either freeze my computer or to not load. That would really be awesome.

checklist clearing

mowing lawn, checking off a dozen items from the pre-Ireland list.

book finished (again). Now officially in Ireland-prep mode.

working much longer than expected. finishing on the deck, so the dogs don’t feel neglected.

rolling through final revisions. deadline: now.

revisions. slow.

editing.

This is awesome.

home stretch.

Everyone on the UMDNJ side of this story should be embarrassed.
Do we really need to have a court case to decide whether a man from Africa (who has since become an American citizen) should be allowed to call himself African-American?
