what a time to be alive

There's an 18th century Venetian chronicle, one I happened to need RIGHT NOW, scanned, via Harvard Library, on google books. It's here.

Also, the Newberry has free wireless.

Also, they haven't brought me the book yet, but I think it has the 1317 text I need.

I like my day job.

Who started the rumor that you were here in Minneapolis?

Let me check. No, still in the Newberry in Chicago.

Bring some over. We'll provide chairs.

Get in the car and drive like hell!

I don't really recommend MegaBus at this juncture.

You get on a plane. I'll bring tickets.

Actually, I'm seeing you all in a couple of weeks, so it doesn't make sense. But we need to make use of that option more often.

Actually, though I am always happy to hear from lollardfish in any event, I'm glad to hear from you too. I hadn't seen any posts or counterposts from you in a while and I was wondering if your hectic traveling life had led you to a spot so far away that it didn't have Internet access. (I would utterly love to read one of your travelogues, this one being different because it's about the Moon.)

Hey there. The village hall closes at 7pm tonight. Do you think you'll make it back in time to register the car? I could maybe load up Nico and walk but it's real hot so I'm hoping you can do it.:)

I registered the car at 9:50 this morning. I am like the ninja in my crafty ways.

Wow. I bow to your superior skills.:)

Hell, I like your day job. Perhaps I will take it as my own! Muhuwahahahahahaha!

This is completely amazing. I have made ample use of Google Books this last year to read Clauswitz and a few related texts...

Sometimes I sigh with jealousy over your day job. Of course, I wouldn't trade my day job for the world.

Your day job is awfully nice.

It is!
