Near misses
Went to bed about 2:30 this morning. Around 4:15, noticed that I was still awake. Might have dozed a little during that time, not sure. Eventually got to sleep, woke up at 7:15. Tried to read a little, drifted off for another half-hour after a while. Probably ended up with something like 4 hours' sleep.
Drove Mary Anne to airport. Had a near accident on the way (that was in no way remotely my fault; other driver attempted to turn right on red (which is legal in CA) without looking to see whether anyone else (like, say, me) was coming). Mary Anne's cell phone almost flew out the window as we got onto the freeway. A cab missed the front of my car by mere inches as I pulled away from the airport after dropping her off. Not an auspicious beginning to the day.
In a few hours, I need to pack and drive to the airport again, this time to leave my car in longterm parking. Then up to Oregon for the SH workshop. I may be completely incommunicado until my return on Monday afternoon—probably no Internet access, possibly no cell phone. Scary.
