gurdymonkeyGentle readers, you may recall a binge of shopping in San Francisco to fulfill some giri about a week ago. I just got an email from Solveig-hime letting me know that her "care package" had arrived, complete with multiple thank yous and lots of exclamation points. (I now have this rather disturbing image of a middle aged math professor in pigtails and a schoolgirl uniform jumping up and down and squeaking.)
When I think back on the fact that this woman has driven me up the wall via e-lists for a solid four years now, it still pleases me that I was able to do this for her. She has this intensely frustrating habit of being unable to see the forest for the incredibly interesting drop of dew on the underside of this leaf right here, which makes electronic communication with her crazy-making. Then I met her and while she's still difficult to get a straight answer out of, all the assurances from friends that she was a lot easier to take in person came true. After all, I was raised by a flaky, absent-minded, disorganized academic....
I just hope the hat in the oversized box makes it to its destination in Colorado without misadventure.
