Oct. 12th, 2002 10:41 pmIt was a long and draining day. I've summarized, but it is long and deadly boring. ( In order to spare those who are uninterested, I have hidden the actual summary behind a cut tag. )
Tomorrow the plan is to see Aunt Eileen, Chuck, Kim and Justin off at 11-ish, Uncle Rich and Susanna off around noon, and then head to Old Forge which is currently in peak season, leaf-wise. We'll take the ski lift up Mount McCauley, take pictures, and then visit Grandpa and Mary. If possible I may try to talk people into going to the Buffalo Head restaurant so Andy can try the real version of Dutch apple pork chops. It won't break my heart if that doesn't work out, though.
On Monday we may go to Oswego, where I attended college. I may even go talk to my favorite English professor (who is hopefully still department head) about possibly graduating if all of my credits haven't already expired. I was only a class or two short, so maybe something could be worked out, especially since Oswego has a distance-learning program in place, or at least did two years ago when I checked. If not, at least I'll get to show Andy how gorgeous the place was.
Tuesday we get to do the airline thing again. I'm not sure whether we'll be volunteering or not; I suppose a lot would depend on when an alternate flight could get us home. If things go according to schedule, however, we'll be touching down at RDU at just after 19:00. Andy will have absolutely no time to relax once we're home, and is very worried that his committee will make him postpone his defense, though he's working on a schedule which will see him ready if his committee gives him the go-ahead for October 23rd. His dissertation is at 336 pages/62,000+ words, and he has over 100 slides made. He plans on working in the car to and from Old Forge, and probably while we visit Grandpa and Mary.
