bktheirregularHeading for the airport in five hours. And I've still got a metric crapload* of things to square away.
Flying out from Newark Airport, which can be problematic at times, but hopefully won't be too bad. Oddly, Newark is the closest of the regional airports to Manhattan proper, but it's on the other side of the Hudson River, and there's only a limited number of ways to get there from here.
Suitcase is full, but there's a bunch of stuff that didn't fit, so I need to pack a large duffel, too. Need to remember things like shoes. And jackets. Cold-weather clothing for the fall.
(Yeah, I know, it's summer and it's a tropical heat wave in Athens right now. But I got caught off guard last October. Not this time.)
Might be one more post from New York; if not, then the next time I post will be from Athens.
*A metric crapload is 1.327 Imperial craploads, the latter being calculated from the monthly output of Henry VII, while the former was based on the amount of paperwork generated by the French Legislative Assembly on 15 November 1791.**
**Said paperwork was sealed in the Archives of the Republic to serve as a standard, but lost a few years later, when Napoleon Bonaparte pointedly asked one of his advisors what the hell had happened on that particular Tuesday.
