Urk?

[da]

I just got spam. In iCal. I haven't had time to figure out how the hell it got there, but it's a bit of a surprise. Its recipient is... my non-gmail address, but it has a google calendar link at the bottom. Hm. The only action on my part was to confirm in ical that my address belonged to me. And then they appeared in the "notifications" pane.

[edit to add: Ah, I see. it's a convenience feature of mac mail and ical. If my email contains an .ical event notification, it will add it without asking me. iCal preferences... "Advanced" preferences... *untick*]

Also: what's up with friends moving away shortly? Was it something I said?

My friend Michael is imminently moving to Alberta; he told me on the weekend (calling from Alberta).

ferdzy and her partner Karl are quite possibly moving to Owen Sound this summer. At least 50% possibility, according to K. Higher chance if they can sell their business.

I think that's quite enough of that. No more moving further away. You're only allowed to move closer. (With the proviso that my parents are welcome to move to Ithaca, whether or not it's any closer to here... (and it even is closer, by 50 miles.)) Got it? Good.

sigh. I would love to move closer.

I've been trying to talk Linda into Alberta or possibly BC for a couple of years now. Do I get a grandfather clause?

Upside: no more Waterloo.

Downside: I actually *like* my job, and suspect finding even a similar position elsewhere just Wouldn't Be The Same.

Um, sorry. :(

It will make me sadder to be further away from you two.

And I'm well aware there will be things I miss about where we are now (being three blocks from the canoe-and-kayak rental place, for example). However, my overall sanity will definitely be increased by no longer living in this area. And then, a year later, it will be increased further by being back in the Delaware Valley.

The fact that y'all are less than a day away has definitely been lovely.

"I just got spam. In iCal. [snip] Ah, I see. it's a convenience feature..."

Spam as a convenience feature. Hmmm. Yeah.

No fair! No talking about everyone moving to Philly while I'm down here!!!

(Summer is arriving. The humidity is slowly starting to build back in, after months of dry air. High of 90 today. I will be ready to flee by vacation time. I have the time off for FGC, but don't think I'm going to go. I'm thinking, about going somewhere else instead, but don't know where, exactly. Somewhere with cooler weather. P'Town? Maine? Montreal? Vancouver? Norway? Thoughts? Ideas?........)
