Prof. Husband left for the US a couple of days ago. He is
presenting a paper at some North American Kant Society event in Tulsa, OK, and
is stopping by his parents on the way. It’s a long trip to their house in
Nowhere, IN. From Beirut, you first have to fly to a European city with
connecting flights to Chicago, then take a bus to get out of Chicago, and then
get picked up/drive the rest of the way. From door-to-door it usually takes
about 28 hours. Yeah, that’s right. But at least this time he didn’t have to
travel with kids, which makes it easier, I imagine. He said the trip went well,
in any case, and now he’ll get a little time with family and struggle to fit
everything I ordered into his suitcases (who would have thought that a grammar
book could weigh 5Lbs?!) do some light shopping before continuing to the
conference.
In the meantime, my mother is still here visiting, and
several of my friends’ husbands are also off traveling before the semester
begins, so tonight the ladies will get together for some food, a chat, and to
relax in this quiet-before-the-storm intermission. Like a ladies launcheon. Ha
ha. Get it? Launching the upcoming year. Ladies luncheon. He.
