Superconductor

Have been super productive in the last couple weeks, such that yesterday I hit the afternoon and found myself at a loss for what to do next. Always stuff to do, mind, but nothing urgent and nothing howling for my attention either – except Ron the Body draft 3, which I think has just (finally) hit the top of the pile. Hurrah.
Just had a long messenger chat with a Parisian friend who I met in Mexico last year and who was sitting in an internet cafe in Peru. And sent a letter to Cain in Mexico yesterday, with some long-promised bits and pieces in. (Other letters are on the to-do list as well. Shoulda written more yesterday.)
It was great to reconnect with someone from travel days. Friendships on the road are often brief but intense, and I had promised that we would still be friends when our paths crossed again – and sure enough, we were chatting away without missing a beat despite nearly a year incommunicado.
In other other news, the Alligator has deployed from Seattle and is expected on NZ soil in a few weeks. Another travel buddy succumbs to the lure of NZ… yes, come here, come all of you, come here…
