I think (maybe?) that the Corporate Travel Person has finally gotten everything straight so she can actually book my airline tickets to get me to Korea and back. It was like working with a travel agent. A very bad travel agent. What ever made her think that "Depart from Baltimore" meant that a return flight to Dulles was remotely close to acceptable? What made her think that a *seven* hour layover in SFO on the way back was acceptable? Why did the idiots pester me for a travel profile (including my corporate AmEx card number) so that they could just discard it because I didn't travel for a couple of years? Aaiiieeee!

Oh well.

Meanwhile, Megan is selling at Stitches -- a knitting convention. The exposition was open today. Sales sucked rocks via the proverbial soda straw. One hopes fervently that people will be buying tomorrow, if they can get there around the marathon that will have streets around the convention center closed for significant parts of the day. The booth was a considerable expense -- it would be a Good Thing to at least cover costs. This, of course, contributes to a positive attitude in the house. Not. Megan is really down on the business. We could use the positive waves (and good sales are the best kind).

Meanwhile, yesterday, the daughter moved her bed to her new quarters. She has moved out! No, this is not "Good Riddance", but is a good step forward in moving on to adult life.

I went to stitches last year, and I certainly spent a whole heap of money. Here's hoping the sales are better over the rest of the weekend!

I was by yesterday. Unfortunately her booth is a little out of the way--pretty much the furthest booth from the entrance down the far right aisle. I hope she'll have good karma today!

And a milestone for her parents, too, huh? :-)

I'm still interested in acquiring an inkle loom, which would give me cause to buy lots more linen and cotton string from the two of you.

Positive waves for sure...and here's hoping for better sales the fall/winter. Other than Pennsic, summer SUCKED.
