WEEK 20

Well, we are in Puerto Rico, got room, internet issues etc solved so now we can enjoy ourselves. Also got the Arecibo/Camuy Caves thing out of the way.

Very little work and it's been almost a week since the correspondent's dinner. Funny, I never remembered it as being so competive before. Not only for food, drinks, and space, but for cleverness. In the past it always seemed okay to say "I went, it was nice." Now it seemed to be a competition to be the fastest, the cutest, the funniest. It seems this year most of the beautiful, famous people avoided the receptions, so I was forced to say things like "they've run out of bacon-wrapped scallops" or "Damn! They've closed the fucking bar already."

Oh, for the good old days when Larry Flynt almost ran over my foot with his wheelchair.
