In which I say hi. (“Hi!”)

Greetings from Oak Brook, Illinois, where I live in a hotel room at a Marriott with NLW, who came down with a sinus infection and hasn’t left the room in 30 hours! I watched fireworks from the parking lot on the 4th and it was good. I have eaten enough Indian food for all of us. I’m in love with Amma. I’ve got the “I should totally go to India now that I’m single but what will I do with my dog?” bug in the worst way.

I’ll write a post about the deeper aspects of seeing Amma soon, but it’ll be passworded (so you don’t have to read it if you don’t want to). The password will be amma, once I write the post that is.

The coolest thing about NLW’s illness is that it causes her to keep the room at 68 degrees, which I love. I’m wearing a sweater and socks up in here!

Note that Meebo is way cool if you want to find your IM friends on a machine that isn’t yours. I’m trying to install it into eyeOS, even.

Um… I’ve been updating Twitter and Flickr so you can find out about the trip there. (I think I’ll be designing a ‘travel layout’ I can switch to that displays only stuff I can update by phone – Flickr, Twitter, Jott – for when I’m too busy to get on the Intartubez.)

I miss you all, my e-babies. When I get home I shall spend an entire day catching up on yer blogz and leaving terribly clever comments! I promise!
