Going out to dine with the Doyles tonight. Now bashing my head trying to synchronize 3.5 million files on 5 machines and many hard drives.

Must help Cynthia with her paper on EU & Turkey

Two Weeks until Paris

Two weeks until I go to Paris. The race is on. How much can I get done before I have to start getting ready to go? How much more weight can I lose to make up for what I will gain? And will I be able to balance all the holiday season events with both of these?

And then, can I do something about my email situation? Over 170 emails in my inbox. Some have been there for MONTHS! Yikes.

back from my monday swim. so many things to do. so little time for each.

I hope to have a quiet day at home getting things done.
