Remote post

The class is peer reviewing and I take this moment in a busy week to jump in with a post.

The week has been mostly the blah-blah-blah teach/grade/TCB routine. When she wasn't massaging, Otis was plowing through a stack of papers for the HS, and she just finished them a few hours ago, so she was busy, too. What did we do the past three days that was cool? Hmmmm...

I had lunch Wednesday with Trots at Jack's Tapas Cafe Mainly Chinese. Man, that's some good food. We talked about shoes and ships and sealing wax and her taking over a job I used to have. We even nabbed Otis for a cuppa at home, and I brought her some of that wonderful sesame-scallion bread Jack makes.

We watched Riverworld the other night. This was a Sci-Fi Channel production, a pilot for a series (that was never made) based on the novels by Philip Jose Farmer. I am familiar with the source material and liked it, so I thought the film was pretty sucktacular, but there must have been something of the magic that survived the translation, because Otis really dug it was hoping that series had indeed been made.

We had a visit from J-Force today, ostensibly to pick up her salvage cat-carrier but really just to hang out and drink limeade and chillax. Sweet.

And tomorrow we leave an oh-dark-thirty for a two-day barnstorm through Spokane, back Saturday night.
