I have to leave for the airport in five hours, so I guess that means I ought to go to sleep soon... My body and mind are both exhausted from the intensity of the last couple of weeks, so hopefully this trip will offer me a little of the rest I desperately need. I'm already looking forward to flying first class tomorrow (which totally justifies my obsession with getting enough segments before the end of the year to maintain my status).
This so called "dating" thing is pretty fun. Tonight was date #5. Because, obviously, we had to see each other before I went out of town. After dinner we sat outside eating ice cream (because I had been talking for days about how I wanted ice cream), while I put substantial energy into trying to hide the fact that I was shivering uncontrollably. So between me risking frost bite, or whatever you risk by eating ice cream when it is 60 degrees outside, and both of us being exhausted and me having to get up extremely early, it was our shortest date yet, but still wonderful. I'm starting to get nervous that he will forget about me while I'm gone, but that is an illogical thing to expend too much thought on. I'll just try to remember his very tender kiss goodnight.
It is going to be quite a different conference focusing only on law and networking...
