hrjArrived safely in Bangor[1] after spending over 12 hours in transit. Ack for three-leg plane flights. Not much else accomplished since last posting.
[1] Maybe cranberry margaritas loosen my inhibitions, but I distinctly recall explaining to one of my co-workers -- in excessive linguistic detail -- that "Bangor" derives from Welsh roots meaning "a wattled enclosure". I think I then had to explain "wattled". I recall with somewhat less equanimity explaining to another co-worker's new wife that, regardless of what her mother always told her, her name "Kendra" is not of Welsh origin. I'm generally not that pushy about disillusioning people about their beliefs about their names.
