And the amount of space and time you need
I used to be able to do quite a bit, but when all of your tools and supplies have to fit in one 2ft x 2ft x 2ft box, you really can't keep enough to do a lot of stuff 
It's not going to be epic until I've safely unloaded my belongings in the hotel room *touch wood*. But...
The original plan would have me trying to fit everything into Wednesday, my last full day of three. Now, Wednesday is the first full day of three, and nearly everything I wanted to do will be open the entire stay. The original hotel was a mile from the nearest light rail. The new one is a couple blocks from the subway, and one stop from Citi Field and Flushing Meadows - Corona Park (Unishphere, Queens Museum, and those flying saucer things from MiB.)
The dream trip I envisioned two years ago, before I went to MI instead, was to take the train to NYC and back. In just a few minutes, we're headed to the station. Pity the car had to be sacrificed to do it, but the new itinerary is so much better than the original plan I started out on Sunday morning.
But again, after all that's happened, I won't believe it's going down until that train pulls out at 7:30 this morning. I'll really believe it once we've pulled out of Harrisburg, where Sunday's journey came to a crashing (figurative) end.
Ok, but I'm off. See you in a while.

So, I finally decided to sell my Max's Severed Head. I got >$50 added to my Steam wallet for selling a virtual hat that I got as a bonus with a game I bought for $30 five years ago. I got about 18% interest on my investment. I am a wise businessman! 
I just rocked a presentation of my current research for a group of MDs and PhDs for a genetics in medicine colloquium.
I entered my photography club's contest this year as a member (instead of a rookie as I'm new) and won the long exposure category 
There were some amazing entries - I was pretty shocked and happy

Well, yes, I suppose that is literally true.
I'll be getting my scores and detailed feedback later this week. I'm both looking forward to and scared of the email. I have another trip up north this fall and will use their feedback to try and take better pictures and see if I can place again next year
@Squidleybits, saw you guys as me and Alix were walking into Rockbottom. Pretty sure it was Hugh and you.
Not me I was in the office all day - I would so rather have been out somewhere fun! I have black hair now too due to a home hair dye disaster.[DOUBLEPOST=1434602891,1434602802][/DOUBLEPOST]I googled! Ribeye tacos!

Ribeye tacos!Today on HalforumNews - ThatNickGuy mistakes stranger for forum member, HCGLNS. Friendly greeting is mistaken for assault and a fight ensues. During the scuffle, ThatNickGuy's mask is torn, revealing him to be Londor, Lord of the LizardPeople. The Canadian eastern provinces are in chaos as citizens scramble to appease their new lord and master with offerings of Tim Horton's coffee and poutine. Stay tuned to this station for further updates.
Or that WAS HCGLNS, and this is how Squidleybits found out about his mistress.
That was supposed to be a secret surprise assault, thankyouverymuch![DOUBLEPOST=1434603975,1434603907][/DOUBLEPOST]

I've had this happen to me a couple times. Usually at the renaissance festival. Somebody will spot me from 30 yards away, point, light up, yell "HEYYY!!!" come over, shake hands, hug, "HOW YOU BEEN MAN, GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN" and I have no idea who in the flying nuclear christmas they are.

Actually, I usually do. I play right along, enthusiastically respond, do the whole "HEY HOW YA BEEN WOW LOOK AT YOU" etc bit, then when we walk away, and who I'm with asks "Who was that?" I get to respond "No idea" in my deadpan voice.
Hugh really does have a dude that looks just like him in Fall River. He even drives a similar car. I've actually texted him and chewed him out for not waving.
That's mean. Accurate, but still mean. I may not say hello next time I hold the door open for you going into Tim's.
