It was beautiful yesterday, actually warm, and cold today. THe high tomorrow, last I heard, is supposed to be in the 60s. Welcome to May in WI. I feel for those people who are on tour, though. Especially the 4 hour (which is actually not 'til tomorrow). Still, unless you're familiar w/the May weather-pattern in this area, you're going to be in for a shock. Shit. I forgot how damned cold those buildings get. Cold, damp. So depressing.

I also just remembered about 10 years ago someone taking a Walking tour in May who wasn't a local, and she had these gold-strapped sandals on. So she insisted on sticking plastic bags over her feet (I have to say, she wasn't taking a tour w/me). Then there was the person who bought a fleece sweater then returned it after their tour. We should have a sign "no returns on clothes/umbrellas that people buy to use/wear while taking a tour--we're watching you!"

Oh, crap, I lent my digital camera to someone yesterday in order to take photos of some boring they were doing. And I didn't get it back by the end of the day; meanwhile, someone else has had to move a bunch of cr*p around for me in a room so that I could take a picture of it today. But what if I don't get the camera back? Seriously, this is the first time I've ever offered that camera up to anyone b/c one of the other cameras that we had just, basically, disappeared. "Have you seen the digital camera?" "I don't know, Judy had it." "Judy, have you seen the digital camera?" "I had it a while ago, but I gave it to Doug." And around, and around, motherfuckers. Shit, that's why I used to keep the digi camera I use in a "secret" drawer for like, a year, when it wasn't needed. Anyway....

So, I was in the shower yesterday while mda was getting ready to get in his car and go to work; from there, going to the airport. We'd said our g-byes & such. I came out, and there was a "love ya" note [initialled, like I wouldn't know who it was from :) ] on the computer monitor. And then a post-it on the back of my pack of cigarettes: "See you soon" [also initialled]. Then, I was getting coffee stuff ready last night for this morning and so I opened the can of coffee and there was a post-it note sitting on top of the grounds: "Love ya and miss you." That made me smile & laugh.

Always been a fan of MDA's "time bombs"

He's a master of the time bomb and I'm a v.good audience for them.

Really, the 1 in the coffee can made me smile for the rest of the night. He's really ingenius with these. When I went to CA last year (to meet w/representatives of the agency we were applying to for a grant), he put one in my bag. It said, "Honey--you're a rock star!!" I still have that one in my bag :)

Other times, they're funny observations. I'll pull out one of my Art in Americas and there might be something sandwiched in there.

I have to say that once we no longer worked in the same place, the "time bombs" were one of the things I missed right away.
