Yeah, I know. But this is the first time in decades I've felt like a kid waiting for Christmas, and some of the other kids just got to open a present early, without me.
Sigh. I've done virtually everything I can do to get ready. I've even made up a set of "business" cards. 'Bout the only thing left is to make sure the camera battery is charged up. You have no idea how hard it is to keep from nagging Jeff, "Are we there, yet?" Meanwhile, we've set out the suitcases and are now tossing in the odd things that we might otherwise forget, as we think of them (the yet-to-be-autographed books were the first in). I'm going to have to be careful at work, not to get fired; I sit motionless at my desk for minutes at a time while having out-of-body experiences on the Gulf of Mexico.
