dr_pretentiousI just booked my tickets for Writer's Weekend. If all goes according to plan, I should be landing at SeaTac around 5pm on Wednesday, 21 June. As of Thursday, early afternoonish, I start working my ass off as a conference volunteer, but from early Wednesday evening on June 21st, up through lunch on Thursday the 22nd, I'm free to hang out with folks in Seattle. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seedmoon has dibs.
A while ago, I had this notion that I'd arrange an open-jaw itinerary and fly from the conference to Boston instead of directly home to Jersey, since I owe my many Bostonian friends a visit. Looks like it'll have to be in August, instead. The week before Solstice, I'm at festival. The week of/after Solstice, I'm in Seattle. On the 4th of July weekend, I'm in Forestport for the annual family reunion. If I spent a week in Boston in the middle, there wouldn't be a tutoring practice to come home to. The practice is going great guns right now, but if I'm away for four straight weeks, my students will get used to having that extra hour back in their schedules, and their parents will get used to having a little more money in their wallets. So, August.
Boston folks, what weekends in August are better and worse for my odds of catching up with you?
And Jersey locals--is anybody going to be around between mid-June and the 4th of July for intermittent catsitting/housesitting? (Karmic investments faithfully repaid.)

Date: 2006-05-11 07:56 pm (UTC)Some cats are more high-maintenance. My dear old Othello needed multiple pills daily, and he was not gracious about getting them from anyone other than me or Dan. Karen and various of my grad school friends were game to try dosing him anyway, when Dan and I had to travel, but I hear there were a few occasions of bloodshed.
Thanks for the offer! It looks like, between you and Pat&Maggie, I can probably cover everything but FSG.
