I have plane tickets

[cjsmith]

I have plane tickets to go see The Mikado. The eastbound leg is a redeye with a plane-change four hours in. That'll be tasty.

I have no idea how I'm getting out to Natick from the airport, but hey, I'll figure out something. If nothing else Boston has public transportation. My parents aren't but two miles from a commuter rail station, and they're even less far from an airport bus that might still be running. Extra bonus points: it's winter, so if I walk a couple miles I'm also icing my feet! Yeah OK, that was lame humor. And that last sentence was worse.

Now I don't know whether to tell my parents ahead of time or surprise them. 8-) 8-) Maybe I'll find out whether they have come across my LiveJournal yet!

Hi, CJ! Haven't talked to you in years -- how ya doing? :-) (That's rhetorical, of course, since I can read your LJ, but hey.)

As it happens, I work in Natick, on Rt. 9. If you're coming in on a weekday, I *might* be able to give you a ride from Logan Express to your parents' place. Depends on schedules and stuff. We can work out the details if you send me email at my old school address (remember it?).

Hihi! How are YOU doing? (That's not rhetorical, 'cause I can't see diddly in your LJ.) :-)

Wow, you work on Route 9? My old home stomping grounds! Small world. As it happens, I'm coming in on Saturday morning, but thanks for the offer.

Do you remember when you were inking posters for MITGSP's "Iolanthe", and you showed me the nice pen you were using, and I took it and made dots on a paper rather roughly? And you stopped me because that was bad for the tip of the pen, but I didn't understand at first, and I didn't stop immediately? I still feel bad about that. You'll probably laugh, but it's true. :-) Ah, the things we get hung up on!

You know what? I don't remember that pen incident at all. Not a bit. :-) And yes, my LJ is quite intentionally empty (long story), but we should get caught up anyway... Yeah, I work at The MathWorks, on that obscure little program called MATLAB. And I'm writing a book. And climbing mountains, and stuff like that. Please do send me email!
