Well, external events have removed two points of planning pressure from me: Mark's not going to Montreal, so neither am I any time soon (though I should find some way of communicating with Brigitte in the meantime), and the house that Pat thought his neighbor might be selling, isn't, so I'm definitely going to be looking for an apartment for the next year at least.

Still on the horizon are preparations for LFM and thinking about visiting home sometime in august.
