The movers have been here all afternoon. Of course, I thought they were coming this morning, so I've been here since 7. Alas. That wouldn't have been a problem except I didn't get to bed until after 3:30 this morning. We had dinner last night with a couple of Adrian's clients and that ran until midnight, then we still had some stuff to do around the house.

Dinner was great. Adrian really likes these folks -- in fact, he started taking yoga in the wife's class, and he and the husband have been trading books forever. That's due in part to the fact that the husband is an English professor at my school; unfortunately, given the conservative nature of my school, it's sometimes a little tricky "coming out" to other faculty members. These folks, however, are really great and I wish we could have done this sooner. And their daughters totally rock.

Ironically, I had met this fellow last year at a faculty meeting. I knew who he was but he didn't know anything about me. But last night he actually quoted back to me something I said in a presentation there. The world is small.

Adrian has been helping a lot today with running errands and such. I just know he's exhausted too. Hang in there, sweetie!
