The San Jacinto Monument is 12 Feet Taller than the Washington Monument

In case you missed it, because you’re not connected with me on Facebook or haven’t been paying attention to my blathering about travel or something, (although I suppose I never specified here where I was going), I spent the last 9 days in Texas for work. (I love my job) I got to meet 3 of my internet friends in person, which was absolutely wonderful. (Yay, Internet!) I did a lot of volunteer work. I saw some pretty fantastic stuff. I got to go to NASA, you guys! All in all, an exhausting, but phenomenal experience.

It is my last day of staycation. I need more time. I’m off to see Wicked today. I have heard so much about how phenomenal it is, I’m half expecting to hate it. I read the book, (which took me two attempts), and hated it, then thought it was really good, and am sort of back to hating it. We’ll see.

~The Graveyard Book, Neil Gaiman 

Which I just this afternoon finished reading to Miss W. And the ending is good but sad and it was hard not to cry, and I’m afraid my voice was rather wobbly.

Neil Himself is going to be in Ann Arbor in July, and I very very very much want to drive over for it. I’m trying to decide if I can justify spending the money, though I know it will be worth every penny, and the new book is included in the ticket price. There is still time to decide, I suppose.

And today is my birthday. And it has been a fantastic day. Reading Neil brings out the “ands” in me, apparently.

I hope you’re all having a fantastic day too. Eat some cake in honor of your humble jentober.
