You must have gotten up around the same time as I did. :) I had to take a *lot* of allergy meds last night, since the dehumidifyer that normally keeps the mould from going crazy in the basement is next door after my neighbour had her toilet explode. The initial euphoria at about 2AM was really cool, but that didn't help me recalibrate my sleep cycle any. (That's what Pennsic's for.)

"Kumquat" is an intensely fun word to say, as are "tungsten" and "spackle." I like to slice kumquats up really thin and mix them in with a spinach salad, personally. Put a balsamic-vinegar-and-garlic-olive-oil dressing on that, and it'd be leagues beyond ambrosial. Interestingly enough, the kumquat pieces don't nuke the taste of the spinach. (What were you doing mixing something orange-flavoured with chocolate anyway? Bleah! Whoops, am I going to get flamed for that? Try raspberry; it's much better.)

See you in a few days -- I am definitely bringing cookies, and the prezzies I e-mailed about (working the logistics on the cookies now). Anyway, speaking of "cookies," I undershopped this week, figuring I'd have left nowish, and I'm not leaving for Chatham until Monday, and not getting to Pennsic until Tuesday sometime. :)
