Relaxation

Am having the most relaxed sojourn to Montreal ever. Came down yesterday and had that magical whole set of seats to myself so lots of room to spread out and work on that presentation I'm giving on Wednesday. Have to sit next to x-ine tomorrow, boo (I keed, I keed!). Then after some very productive meetings with various research collaborators who did not murder me for not bringing a new draft of the paper of death but rather asked for my expertise (ha!) on various subjects that I guess I do know something about, or encouraged me to find all sorts of training to be an awesome leader, I got to have dinner chez the new apartment of my former roomie and one of my other besties.

Today was a late wake up, shopping and deal finding on Ste Catherine and a DEELISH late afternoon lunch at Juliette et Chocolat with yet another dear friend (I have a lot of those in this city), we are now deposing before making dinner for another wonderful person.

I'm making inroads on my holiday shopping but let's not discuss the Christmas card situation. I have a lot to deal with at work still but with weekends and friends like this I think I can get by.

(NYC pictures still to come I swear!)
