Coach really has become a box and a seat belt. I have to admit, on the ride home the seat was snug. Now, I know I could stand to loose some weight, but it&#8217;s in my stomach. The seat was snug because the sides were pressed up against my hips. And anyone will tell you, from the back&#8230; I am not that big.<\/p>\n<p>Atlanta? I got in and pretty much spent the first night in the hotel regaining strength.<br \/>\nNo good.<br \/>\nWednesday? Meetings and&#8230; sigh.. an interview. That evening the P.M. wanted to take me around town but I just didn&#8217;t have the energy. I also got a call from <a href=\"http:\/\/shadesong.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">shadesong<\/a> and wound up meeting her for several hours of very wonderful chat. And as promised I have now read a lot of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.shayara.com\/\">Shayara<\/a> materials.<\/p>\n<p>Thursday,<br \/>\nSlow day. My illness has not really improved much,. I did stop by Atlanta&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.puppet.org\/\">Museum of Puppetry<\/a>. That was very cool. I controlled a 5&#8242; Praying Mantis. I also controlled an Animatronic goat-man head (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.puppet.org\/museum\/pix\/32.jpg\">Really big picture<\/a>) saw marionettes created by the man who did the puppet work on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0120601\/\">Being John Malkovich<\/a>, practically bumped into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/TelevisionCity\/Set\/4567\/beakdance.jpg\">Beakman<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.paulzaloom.com\/\">Zaloom<\/a> has a production being done in the museum&#8217;s theatre), and oh yes. Saw a full sized <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geocities.com\/Hollywood\/Academy\/3108\/skeksis.html\">Skesis<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.puppet.org\/museum\/pix\/img_skeksis.jpg\">Picture of the one I saw<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Muchly fun.<\/p>\n<p>Got in around 11pm, the flight was 15 minutes late getting into Atlanta and 15 minutes late getting into the air. Had a very enjoyable evening at home IM&#8217;ing with a dear loved one. Got to play an online game of insinuation tag. <wicked grin>.
