I had a lovely time in southern IL (when was the last time you heard that?), except for a few glitches: a missing bag of information, rampaging hordes of mosquitoes, hitting my head getting into an SUV (straight on; it's sore, but I'm fine), and having travel woes on the way home (Why is it always the flight out that arrives half an hour early, when I can't make use of it? And why did that woman have to take so long to examine my camera? Otherwise I would've been on a flight that left at 8, rather than just before 11 (arriving Logan at 1:30 am). *Le sigh*). More details coming soon, when my brain is more functional (ie after more sleep), I'm no longer fasting, and/or I've dealt with certain work issues.
