Sorry for the offlineness. I got back from the States two days ago, always a mind-addler, and will now be traveling large distances once a week for the next month, including taking d16 to London, seeing my parents, helping out at EE, and taking a week of vacation. Unfortunately one of our cats has been gone a week now, and is d16's favorite, so she is depressed.
I got a passionate hug from a fellow meetuper a while ago, a woman I admire a lot, a confusing, good feeling.
W and d16 are in Stockholm. W invited two refugees to dinner on Friday (they asked her "where are all the people?", an understandable question here in Sweden). d16 and I fly to London the next morning. W is alone, presumably, while we are gone, over fall break.
