Laura is gone now, and the only souvenirs I have left are a sore throat and black hairs everywhere. :( We had a really good weekend together. There was:

  • worrying about whether Laura could make it on the earlier flight out of Omaha,
  • a joyful hello!
  • salads (mine w/ medium-rare steak) at Pluto's,
  • a showing of the children's book Matt wrote and illustrated,
  • enjoyment of watching Matt's one-year-old son run around and explore life,
  • an expensive but authentic diner trip, involving a giant slice of ham,
  • two Target runs, one for necessities, one for Ghirardelli dark chocolate (60% cocoa),
  • completion of the fire dungeon in Ocarina of Time,
  • completion of the SNES SimCity tutorial,
  • a nice engagement meal at Ristorante Capellini in San Mateo,
  • more unpacking and cleaning of my apartment,
  • me watching Waking Life while Laura slept in my lap,
  • PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST!
  • worrying about whether Laura would make her half-hour connection in Denver,
  • and a sad goodbye. :(
