Xmas Eve Departures

C. Wilkinson... can you imagine that double-attempt nickname?  That is some spectacular morbid humor, and no doubt it would raise you out of a depression and perhaps invoke a smile at this harsh yet subtle world.  Some nice wine during the evening at the fundraising dinner notable for the antique furniture, the constant references to thirty years of marriage, the lovely walk along the water to the event and the post-auction scotch.

Slow days since the return, and so all the more confident that the email documents to the law dean was the right choice, come what may.  Time will show the outcome, which should be intriguing to say the least.  Otherwise Dad's eye operation seems to have been a success, and indefatigable Mom has shined up the apartment and led to some overdue cleaning.  Lindsay asking you to help out on behalf of the group at the Oak Island conference and then Ann asking about Odyssey Live.  Some elements to fill in the gap in the timesheets for this month, which is looking bleak indeed.  And hence time to begin considering other options...

Does that include the University of Turku, hilariously?  Frustrating it is in Finland, but perhaps a Ryanair pass from Tampere.  Or the teaching English as a foreign language option.  Or something else.  First things first, would so love to nail down the Xmas Eve Kili departure.  Please just let the flights magically hold up or re-appear... 24 more hours.  It makes such sense on so many levels.
