Oh, I am tired. This is what happens when you turn 35. (As I did a few days ago.) And you have a cold. Today I attended four! events at the Bookworm Festival. There were originally only two on my schedule, but what can I say, everything piqued my interest. But I am tired this evening and so I will not regale you with tales of Icelandic folklore or the innocence and naïveté of living under the Hungarian dictatorship or Argentinean fiction or the state of war conflict reporting. I will simply tell you it was all wonderful and informative and come back to it later.
I didn’t mention yesterday that my attending the festival is part of my birthday present or the fact that it coincides quite serendipitously with the DH’s training trip to the US. Yes, you read that right. The US. After eleven long years it has finally come to pass. The DH is in Dallas for two weeks learning how to fly a beautiful and expensive jet. I almost thought it would never happen, but the immigration folks at Chicago O’Hare threw open the doors and let him in. I’m trying to convince him to guest post on what it’s like to be in the US again after so many years, but at the moment he claims he is too jet lagged.
Tomorrow it is back to work with just one event over my lunch break and one after work, en español.
