Planning ahead (not)

As usual, it is the night before I leave on a trip and I am still puttering around and packing at some ungodly hour. Oops.

Oh well. I don't have much to do in the morning except get myself to EWR and then the correct gate, since I've already checked in online and printed out my boarding pass. Once I'm seated, I can pretty much pass out on the plane.

On the other hand, you could say that I'm not really spectacularly late -- Oh no, I am merely adjusting my body clock to Vegas time, where it is a mere 1am, prime time on The Strip.

Actually, I didn't do too badly during the day cleaning away stuff (I can see the floor in the living room now!) until I went to meet my friend Jen (belated birthday dinner) and then my friend Laura (preemptive goodbye drinks, as she is leaving for the Foreign Service before I get back from Vegas). Those activities did rather take up, oh, 7 hours (but they were VISE -- Very Important Social Engagements). The MTA didn't deposit me back on my doorstop until almost 11:30pm.

Speaking of goodbyes, I thought I'd bookend this post with photos of the late Frontier Casino (RIP).

Time to go finish packing and taking care of various odds & ends.

Back on Saturday morning. Bye!
