Oh Yes Jame tell me how to set my computer to remind me.
I did have the devil of a time getting into this again -it is hard to write a quickie when I keep forgetting my password.

But that is all behind us now.

My only comments at this time are about the gloriously beautiful snow we had today -couldn't even see the road at times it was sowhite and drifty this AM when Erin and I went out for a bagel at the food hole. And I have discovered the world's best new drink instead of coffee -for those who know me of course this means it will be my favorite fora couple of weeks until I am sick of it and never want to have it again -but, till then it is a cafix latte! Just Cafix and steamed milk.
In response to the cryptic S -I will out her and call her my dear cousin Sara -What I am usually supposed tobe doing when I am blogging is something else at the computer like my voluminous email. Today I took a break from installing SKYPE. I still don't know if I got it going -later.
There are so many distractions along the way -like do I want to skype from my cell phone from a foreign country? Of course. Well then "you figure out if you can really understand how much it costs "-did you know that the old cent sign is passe and I am not facile with my .o38 type of decimals -comment invited.
Anyway I am off to MEX at the end of the week, not before wrecking a good night's sleep for Jame (if she chooses) to take me to
the airport at 3:45 AM -thank goodness I still know how to tell time. By now all the world knows I am going to teach Cob building AND as importantly, visit dear Westtown colleagues Paula and Alan who are hanging out in an EcoVillage having invited me to join them in a work and learn sort of program. I will also introduce the Time Bank concept, taking along some of your wool Kathy Bowen, plus sticks to make some knitting needles and knit some lambs with folks there. And who knows what else will transpire in my limited Spanish.
I have done some packing and am musing over what I will take for my day's worth of travel food, remembering the times I have taken such items as made the inspectors revise their list of suspicious substances to include apple sauce and almond pudding. Not wishing to worry them or have to ditch my picnic I think I will go for the cream cheese, olive and walnut sandwich introduced to me by marriage. But for breakfast do I dare take french toast stuffed with cherry, banana cream cheese? -oh my a little heavy on the cream cheese. What about the produce aspect? Salad in a bag that clearly does not harbor a gun? -Once they said they couldn't be sure when it was in tupperware.
This may sound a little too fussy but please notice I have totally let go of the fact that what ever I take will be irradiated by the scanner, and only maintain a fragment of my own unique eating disorder.
It is time to check on Skype and stretch my legs.
