because you just don't know if she will come back or keep walking.
That's exactly right.
And I think you know what my policy is. Accept that I'm already dead.
No news to report. Busy work day. Had dinner with a woman I worked with back in the '90s here in Cap City. Good talk, awesome Italian food.
Meeting tomorrow morning, late-ish breakfast/early-ish lunch with a woman I was at college with who has a very interesting job out here, then a power-sight-seeing trip to pick up some tchotchkes for the youngsters and back to the airport. Haven't had a chance to enjoy this fine hotel room, though I did spend half an hour in the steam room. Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh. Love me some steam and sauna. Just a world of warmy oozy schvitzy goodness.
