sugar and spice and everything groovy
From the monthly archives:
Lisa’s plane finally arrived. She sat in Philly for hours and hours. I am fighting the urge to sleep. After work I rented Rules of Attraction from the hotel’s interactive menu. It reminded me ever so slightly of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson DF masterpiece, Lover Come Back. The main difference [...]

I am getting better at packing although it is still an ordeal. Lisa is coming with me to Chicago this week. She’s taking a later flight since she wasn’t too keen on waking up at 4. Should be a fun week.

Lisa picked me up Thursday evening at the airport. At home I could tell she really missed me. I told her I was going to bed and she followed me into my bedroom and sat on my bed. Next thing I know it’s 1:00 in the morning and we are in my [...]

This afternoon I went [...]

Gosh, it’s early! I have a plane to catch. Instead of doing the late flight, I thought I’d try the real early one. Seems no matter what I do, it is still a pain in the butt. At least I got to sleep in my bed an extra night.

I am home. All went well in Chicago this week. This afternoon I realized that the first time I stepped outside all week was when I caught the El to Midway. It is too convenient that my hotel is attached to the office. At night I watched La Femme Nikita episodes [...]
