the fat man walking finishes his journey, and other items
The fat man walking arrives in New York on May 8th (give or take).
I've been following his blog since near the start of his cross-country walk. Way to go, dude.

ever since blowing off a little steam and tension last friday to the tune of two high-alcohol belgian beers at federal followed by a smidge of prosecco in front of christa's fire pit, my sleep schedule has been royally screwed up. staying up until 3am the next night changing out the look of my blog, and converting the templates to semantic markup did not help matters.
so count me mystified when i woke up at 6:40 this morning for no explainable reason. the neighbors were not yelling, the cat was not caterwauling, and the alarm was not... alarming? felt exhausted but could not get back to sleep.
after laying in bed for a while i started to hear noises above my head. skittering, scratching... sigh. squirrel invasion. great.

tonight I execute my site captain duties for the tour, part I: the walk-through with the docents. this means meeting with seven or eight people I don't know, at a house that is not mine, showing them the house, telling them everything I remember about it, and admonishing them to show up for their shifts ten minutes early, clean and well-dressed.
i have to admit, i will be glad when 6pm saturday rolls around, and i'm free to spend the rest of the weekend just lounging around with a certain person from virginia. although once my own docent shift is over at around lunchtime, the rest of the day shouldn't be too difficult unless someone doesn't show.
i'm also looking forward to taking the tour itself; getting to see inside the craftsman bungalows and victorian mansions in the neighborhood is going to be really fantastic. the house where i'm working is probably the most modest on the tour, so i haven't seen nothin' yet.
historic oakwood, eat your heart out!!
