I went to Pittsburgh and all I got was this lousy rhinovirus

Cement head? Check. Snot? Check. Cycling fever? Check. Much reduced will to live? Check.

The one positive point is that I made it all the way home before it kicked in full strength. If I felt like this and had to share an armrest with a stranger, blood may have been shed.

The weekend was good, busy but good. This time we had a bit more free time and I was able to hang out with some of my librarian-wanna-be friends. The presentation went ok and the prof actually complimented me.

I found out I'm not completely unqualified to work in information organization / library technical services.

My parents cleaned my entire place while I was gone and the dog is still tired from all the activity.

I checked into my flight directly behind the Temptations. Technically The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards but that's the Tempations latest incarnation. Oddly enough, my family just watched a concert on PBS that they headlined and I though they look familiar even before I saw the back of the crews' jackets. These guys are rockstars; entourage, fur coats, bling, fancy shoes, etc. And they were polite and low key too. I kept bumping into various ones roaming the halls of the Pittsburgh Sky Mall.

No, I didn't say anything. The crippling shyness kicked in and I just stared politely.

So I guess I brought two things back from Pittsburgh; a head cold and a bona fide celebrity sighting. Much better then the time I turned around in BWI to find Mike Tyson standing behind me and jumped about a foot in the air (he's scary, even in repose)(and he was wearing a large gold dollar sign necklace. For reals).

There are other things going on; a new knit project including actual purling, many books to add to the list, ...um...other things my brain can't recall right now. Later. Now it's time for decongestants and possibly a nap.
