the fabulous day

today was fabulous. first, i won those tickets to see twyla tharp. and then everything else just fell into place. nice. easy. breezy. plus, fun fantasies of getting outta dodge and visiting carstereo. and little snippets of email encouragement from the bean of new england (okay, she's not in new england, but she is on the east coast and i couldn't resist):

"ok, what was it i wanted to say next...um.. oh yes, i
would advise may. april is still 'wintery' in lots of
northern places. may is definitely warmer. not quite
swamped witb tourists like june, but just warm enough
to bait those germans out of the house and into public
nudeness. yes! biggest park in berlin, right next to
so serious historical strausses and businessplatz' you
are walking along and then suddenly everyone in the
grass (ok, like 70%) has abandoned that fear-invoking
german solemnity and dropped their clothes in favor of
nude frisbee and nude dog walking. marya, you simply
couldnt miss sharing beers in the bier garten with
this side of germans."

and what else? early morning gym run with kristin and di and cutting out of ablab so we could have time for early morning coffee run. hair cut by A. lunch at linnaea's and i saw jamie and mr. harvey. deposited an extra $200 into el banco (ch-ching). bought a new book. and dinner with kristin. plus, the project is really wrapping up nicely. they love it.
