A big weekend...

coming up!

Saturday is a normal weekend day---schlep laundry to the laundromat, go to the grocery store, go to the post office to mail more g.c. to John, clean the house, go to the library. That'll be about 7 miles of walking by the time I get all that done. I might start by taking myself out for pancakes!

Sunday, I'll have time to start rewrites on Altamira. Eep!

Monday is MLK day, an NRAO holiday, so a group of us are going for a 10-mile hike. It's going to be 60 degrees here, so it's perfect weather for a big hike! That'll eat up almost the whole day, by the time we meet up, head out, walk up the mountain, eat lunch, walk down the mountain, head back, etc.

Tuesday is Inauguration Day, so I pretty much plan on the whole day evaporating, and accomplishing nothing but watching all the fun on the interweb. Then the group is coming over in the evening to lift a glass or two in honor of the day! Hooray! Nobel-prize-winning physicists advising our government! (This particular one was an NRAO summer student, it turns out---which is a fun fact...)

Pretty much, I'm planning on a four-day weekend. It's good to be on sabbatical...
