I'm in Dallas, my wife is visiting my elder daughter and sister in New York, and the "little" one is back at work in Frankfurt with only "local" work foreseen between now and when we all meet up in Boston on Sep. 11th. "Local" to her means no farther north than London and no farther south than Zürich. She thinks she's me or something. We'll all be together again for our friend's wedding on Sep. 12th in western Massachusetts, and then it's back off to Europe for the three of us while the elder daughter returns to NYC for her job there. In the meantime, my wife and I meet up at my brother's place in northern Virginia, and in a week we'll be in Vancouver. I'm lucky if I remember what time zone I'm in.
