Don’t you know it; had a poster session (where nobody asked me about my poster anyway–either it was really good and easy to understand, or really boring), then off to see “Alaska”, the IMAX movie. Finally, dinner buffet for all the Chem students. So much stuff… Glad to be back though :🤗: 😃 ---

Yeah, gotta love cookies…mmmm… Not as much fun without you around either…I’m sitting there growling at the person on the computer, trying to get them to just back away slowly… ::kiss on neck:: 😉 ---

Hey, new sig! 🙂 I’m heading home tomorrow (with a very busted car…I hope it makes it :eek:), then off to CA the 16th, I think. Then back to B-more and off to Bard-land, all in one day–ouch! 🙂 ::brushing Audrey’s hair back, gazing in awe:: 😉 ---

:😊: [sub]Keep touching my hair and I’ll be your friend for life…[/sub] Hope your car stays in one piece, sweetie! :eek: East coast to west coast and back? Oh my! Yeah, new sig. I read it over in one of the other forums this morning. I just had to use it, being a former orch-dork and all. 🙂 ---

Keep blushing like that, and I’ll keep touching your hair… Well that’s good; I like playing with hair, especially when it’s attached to a beautiful woman 🙂 The car has to make it 200 miles…then it can die on the spot for all I care (it’s junk anyway). The train will take me the rest of the way home. Of course, my father doesn’t know yet–he thinks I’ll be getting home by rental car sometime in the afternoon. It ought to be interesting :o Yeah, the east-coast west and back again is pretty rough, but my mother really wanted to see me before I had to go back to Bard (and she didn’t ask before getting the tickets :)). ::massaging shoulders:: 😉 ---

Tahoe, you said, right? I went up there one winter, and it was beautiful. I’ve never seen it in the summertime, though. I can’t imagine that place without snow everywhere. > [@](#): > > \*\*::massaging shoulders:: 😉 \*\* ::melts:: ---

No, by all means, complain about a 1 hour commute; they suck. I did one of those for a while…even just as a passenger it’s very “ugghhh”. > [@](#): > > ::melts:: ::also massaging neck and back:: ---

Plus it’s summertime, and shorter hair is cooler. > [@](#): > > No, by all means, complain about a 1 hour commute; they suck. I did one of those for a while…even just as a passenger it’s very “ugghhh”.\*\* I catch the bus, and I sleep for most of the hour. It makes the ride go by so much faster. I should be used to it by now, though; I’ve been commuting that way for over ten years now. > [@](#): > > ::also massaging neck and back:: \*\* Great hands, sweetie! But, after all, you did have 17 hours worth of suntan lotioning for practice… 😃 ---

See? I knew I was practicing for something 😉 Speaking of hair cutting, I think mine’s time has come again…it needs to fit under a fencing mask (though not for a few months yet)…but more importantly, it needs to stop growing straight out to the side 🙂 Hey, I snagged some of that fruit on the way outta the pool-party; would you like some grapes and kiwi?
