Dear happy Folsom people:

Yay! Take lots of photos, take care, and let me know how it went. I SO wish I was there today...

In other news: It was David's birthday yesterday, and was celebrated with a small gathering of close friends, 15 bottles of wine, a bottle of gin, and something else I cant quite remember, but it was chocolate flavoured. Yummy. The neat thing was we started at 2pm (oh, ok, 2.30 by the time we'd rescued Alan from work) and I was in bed by 9pm. Stuffed full of food and completely off my rocker of course, but I forced myself to drink a couple litres of water and this morning I'm absolutely fine, save a touch of vagueness.

Christmas is undergoing radical plan changes, as Erich's not able to get to NZ due to work and the outrageous cost of flights. So I'm going there :-) Its a touch stressful, as I need to pay for my flights this week or risk missing out, and since I came back from the US not a week ago my finances havent exactly bounced back, but it WILL happen.

I'm dreaming of a white christmas... :-D

I'm gonna get in SO much trouble...

I'm booking my flights for Alaska (Dec 23- jan 6th) which approximately equates to the holiday season when Kscope will be shut down. I haven't asked Glen for the time off, as holiday plans is something we're going to discuss when he gets back in 5 weeks. By which time flights will be full or insanely expensive. Esther doesnt have the authority to authorise time off (or doesnt want to risk it) and the only thing going for me is that it'll be part of next year's holiday allowance.

So I'm going. And there will be arguments in 5 weeks time. And I'm going. Perhaps I'll have to take time off without pay. But I'm going. Perhaps I'll even get a written warning. And I'll still go.

Way up north...
