During lunch today, the weather was just unbelievably beautiful, but the line at the Greek place where I usually buy lunch was excessively long. I decided to take a walk and made more use of my cell phone than I probably had in the previous month. I called Ed to make plans for driving to Pittsburgh, Betsy because she had a couple more problems with her computer, and Laura to see what her schedule was next week. (In the last of those calls, ironically, I walked out of range of the cell tower just as the conversation had wrapped up anyway but without the opportunity to actually hang up.)
When I got back from lunch at 13:00, I had email waiting that told me that all “non-essential” state employees (which definitely includes me) were to leave at that same time. So I immediately took off, went over to my mother's house to fix my sister's computer, then went down to Catskill and started preparing myself for the trip.
