Parsippany. Do little truckstop towns in NJ ever have nice normal names?
Anyway, greetings from the "business center" of the hotel I'm in. There are four compys in here, one very tired chickie and five clocks, each precisely labelled "Eastern," "Central," "Mountain," "Pacific," and inexplicably, "Dusseldorf." <margaretcho'smom>Because-uh, the Jarman? They like-uh New Jarseee. They do! They like it SO much!</margaretcho'smom> Uh huh.
and it's <joe-pantoliano>frik-in cold in here.</joe-pantoliano>I'm going back to my room and getting a sweatshirt now....
ah, much better. that and I think I figured out how to tweak the thermostat in here.
( REALLY long account of the day, including some funeral stuff )
Anyway, I gotta go get some sleep if I'm indeed meeting Dad for breakfast at *cry* 6:30 this morning.
Heh. If we were in Dusseldorf, the service would already be starting.
Why Dusseldorf?
g'night.

Oct. 28th, 2004 06:46 pmwhat a hectic 12 hours.
( Funeral cha cha )
I hope to be out of NY tomorrow, but I'm not sure really what's up yet, who's staying with Dad and what everyone's doing. Right now, I should probably come out of my little geeky hidey hole and go tell Stanley and Amanda that no, I haven't uploaded my brain into the Internet, or joined the Foglet society or something - which reminds me, I should ask him whether he's gotten around to reading the rest of Transmet yet...
* Penuche is NOT her real name, in case anyone's wondering, but her actual name is fairly close. and the initials and contractions are the kids - who probably shouldn't have their full names in a public post, them being minors and all.
