What I’m reading:<\/em> Fly Fishing with Darth Vader<\/a>\"\" and Bartleby the Scrivener<\/a>\"\"<\/p>\n

What I’m listening to:<\/em> High Violet<\/a>\"\", by The National<\/p>\n

What I’m watching:<\/em> The Night of the Hunter<\/a>, which was a) my first Robert Mitchum flick, and b) All That. Also, caught up on Parks & Rec and 30 Rock, and watched the first third of Dark City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What I’m drinking:<\/em> Bluecoat<\/a> and Q-Tonic<\/p>\n

What Rufus & Otis are up to:<\/em> Not hiking on Sunday, as we were expecting rain. Which never arrived. Maybe we should get ’em an arts & crafts project, it being summer vacation time and all.<\/p>\n

Where I’m going:<\/em> Nowhere!<\/p>\n

What I’m happy about:<\/em> Getting together with my pal Jon-Eric and his wife Monika on Sunday evening at Aozora in Montclair, NJ to celebrate his 40th birthday with the, um, time-honored tradition of Chilean sea bass.<\/p>\n

What I’m sad about:<\/em> That the weather was so bad last Tuesday that I couldn’t get into NYC for an alumni seminar on Bartleby<\/em>. I would have preferred to! (but seriously, it was one of those rain-and-wind episodes that turns into a 2-hour drive just to get into the city)<\/p>\n

What I’m worried about:<\/em> Getting those last two FDA speakers locked in for my conference in September<\/a>. After a long delay, my contact at FDA HQ finally got back to me on Sunday. His e-mail mentioned that I should “fill out the attachment,” but the e-mail contained no attachment. Sigh.<\/p>\n

What I’m pondering:<\/em> When I’ll get around to wearing these<\/a>. (They were on sale, and they only had my size.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
