...the sugar put me over the top...

Got to get out the door to work...but first wanted to throw in a quick few words. After a brief discussion with mom and blighty, I finalized my decision to opt out of the lecture gig that I had arranged in Corsica this Oct/November.

There is something very difficult about canceling an engagement, but I think that the reasoning is sound. 20 hours of traveling and 3 flights to get there at 32 weeks pregnant brought a resounding "NO" from both sources. Perhaps the kicker was the advice from Blighty who said, "Today I want you to shove two 5 lb bags of sugar down your pants and walk around, and THEN decide that you want to sit in a plane for 20 hours." Okay. So that was convincing..
