Home Alone
mia_mcdavid is still in Dublin (she flies to Chicago tomorrow) and James is away on a two-night field trip. I think he packed way too much–a metric shitload of stuff, but he went cheerfully and it is not my problem anyway. He and Mia both get back here late Wednesday afternoon.

- I need to ____
- I have to ____
- I want to ____

Rather less going on then usual. colgaffneyis has no shows in September, so there is not the rush to get ready for the next event. Gaeltacht Minnesota is in the middle of a three week break.
