The shape of things

muckefuckSo far I'm 0 for 3 with the obligatory phone calls. Blondie was on his way to brunch, and there was no answer from either Bumiputeri or Mom. I didn't even try to reach Tuppers. I've barely been able to get six words out of him since his birthday. (Presumably he's in some kind of fugue of preparation for his trip to Berkeley. Or maybe he's just a dick.) So I guess it's down to the depths for me to start the first of several loads of laundry.
In a little bit,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
monshu will be up from his nap and he'll test my coffee-making skills. He gave me a tutorial in the new machine yesterday since Dad may want a pot Friday morning and we know that leaving the operation to him is only courting disaster. Right now, the plan is that he'll show up some time on Wednesday to whisk me away to the wilds of Wisconsin, crash here Thursday night, and drive back down to STL on Friday while I go to my third appointment with the podiatrist. The first motel on a coworker's list of recommendations had a vacancy, so I reserved a double at a much more reasonable price than I was expecting.
I'm not happy that my first visit to Door County will involve much more driving than hiking, but as I was telling the GWO the other night, it's an opportunity for reconnoitering without all the traffic of the high season. At least I hope we won't be seeing a lot of leafers in the middle of the week. As usual, I'm leaving myself underinformed in order to avoid getting too fixated on any particular destination, but Nuphy counseled me to at least research some good restaurants as a surety in case serendipity fails us.
