Well, I hope you all know you've spoiled my friend utterly. He thinks he's the very center of the universe, now. I spoke to him on the phone last night and it's clear he's been Prince Micca for 22,000 miles or so.

I don't know if we can stand him again at the Getaway, but I'm picking him up at Dulles on 10/2 so we'll see.

KT and Ebbie when are you coming to see me?
regards, chance

OK, kat. I took eight cups of mildly moldy lemon rice to work. Now what do I do with it?

NOTE: It has been sitting out since last Tuesday.

Saki, maybe?


Micca - you will be pleased with your bear. It is simple, tasteful and totally out of character for a gift from me.


Synchronized Floor Routines? How do they get again...gracefully? I think we should have a workshop on synchronized swimming in air at the getaway. Maybe act out a water ballet of The Cruel Mother?

The birds and the bear are safely tucked away in Jacqui's luggage and will be winging their way across the ocean to you very soon, Micca.

SINS, still trying to figure out what to do with eight cups of lemon rice.

Came across a bear in South Portland this weekend - who'd a' believed it? Picked it up for Micca. $.50.

Micca, I ran into Arnie Weimer - that artist who sketched you - on the street and I told him you had bought that print of his, and that we both really liked his paintings. He was very pleased, and actually blushed.

As to bears, on this morning's walk my Meggie went into full warning mode because there is a new, very large, fake bear on the veranda of a shop. I finally had to pick her up and take her to the bear to show her that it wasn't real. She gave one final growling, muttering mfff! and lost interest in it.

She's had enough run-ins with the real thing.

I've posted a picture of my Trystan sprawled across Micca...the cat is asleep, Micca played possum for the picture AND one of Micca and me at myopera album HERE. That cat usually only sleeps on ME, so this was quite an honour for Micca!

So I have been re-gifted or de-gifted. Either is equally offensive. LOL I will tak egood care of the little beasties. They will join my blue jay and galar in the boat with the owl and the pussycat. Bet you never noticed them.

Apparently war has been declared. One loon and one raven tucked in the cushions in the living room. Larry Lobsters at 20 paces, Micca., You have been warned.

Funny - I thought he would remember how we "got" Mick at the Getaway a few years back...

The wanderer called tonight. He is home and very tired. The little kitty is very glad to have him home.

Desert Road is washed out up north; Saco River is rising south of here. Micca - the natives are restless and blaming you.

Well, you forgot to pack up the bloody rain and take it home with you! We had flooding this morning and now I have to detour around Freeport, which adds an extra 15 minutes to my commute, for the next two to three weeks because Desert Road washed out.

I have to go out and get milk for ntea, (if Little Wugsie will let me out of sight long enough) and then a nap I think, I made a long post from the lounge at Logan yesterday that seems to have vanished, and I had forgotten that i "bought"an upgrade for this leg so had a comfortable seat!!

We've just got back from taking Micca to lunch at Friendlys, where he really enjoyed his burger, and then on to the bus station in plenty of time for the 12.30 bus.

Photos here.

By now he will be about half way back to Boston, in good time for his flight this afternoon.

Thanks for your company mate - we're looking forward to your return and I'll see you in a couple of weeks when I make the same journey!

Micca,
You will leave a big empty hole in the house. But I will enjoy getting back to what passes for "normal" at my place.
Alice misses you already - did she manage to pee on anything of yours or just confine herself to unsuspecting first timers?
You will back in a matter of weeks so rest up and we will do it again.
Any chance of being around for Gordon's house concert or John's? I might be persuaded to open that special bottle...
Safe trip, Love.
Mary

Oh the packing is done

'way down Heathrow
the packing is done
and the check-in is past
and we're bound for Heathrow!!

and an unexpected but very welcome invite to lunch before setting off to Bostons Logan Airport and a 6 pm departure, with a (shudder) 5.05 am London arrival, with the surly immigration and Customs men!!!!
still, at least Little Wugsy will be pleased to see me, I will miss you all, but will complete the Saga first reported here, and fill in any lacunae in the pix file, once I get home,
Many thanks

He will be missed (but maybe we'll get some good weather back.........)
