Ok, I lied

Sorry mangosteen, turns out that a 2-hour dragonboat practice, starting at 9 am, does last all day.

• 9-11 am practice (post-race season means trying out weird new techniques, with little fear that, if awful, we won't recover in time for the next race. "Yeah Cap'n, I love 15 continuous minutes of pyramid progressions. I live for it. [...] I hate you.")
• 11-1 waiting for the folks with individual evaluations to be "tested" and then have their discussion about it, so we could go have lunch together. (Why I didn't skip this to either go to alt.wheels or the MIT museum open house is a mystery, well... except for the ravenous hunger from a 2 hour practice).
  
• 1-2 trying to agree on a new place for lunch, and taking the long way round North End to find it.
• 2-3 lunch at Pizzeria Regina
• 3:30 Mike's Pastry. [...] Sure, I thought I was torturing YOU with the whole Pistachio Cookies mantra on IM, but, guess who ended up having to go buy some!
• 4 pm What the Fluff? with various team members
• 5:30ish turning down a ride to instead walk home, just get a brief break from the team before the big birthday bash of a team member tonight.

meanwhile, my sister finally canceled around 3 (when she realized she simply could not arrive in time for the fluff stuff). Which leaves me freeish tomorrow. I'd planned to hit up Wrentham tomorrow, but... it's less interesting if I'm going alone, Also, it sounds like a big chunk of my team is going to JP open studios instead. "Open Studios" being well known magic words used to summon cthulhias, along with "bacon" and "chocolate".
