I am NOT bringing the sexy palm pilot I am still in the process of buying from Tony. I am not bringing anything vaguely smacking of work. I may bring the book I’m reading … but I might just decide to leave anything reminiscent of work or my normal life behind and just run and frolic in the fields like the fairy I rode in on. If you couldn’t tell, I am very excited about retreat. And I get to leave work in 75 minutes…

Thanks for the call, Yuki - and under normal circumstances I would just lurve to hang out with you this weekend. But, as you can see, I am called by a higher purpose. See you next weekend!
