Back in terra cognita

Okay, maybe it wasn't as bad as all that. I felt a little sorry for the struggling little city, that's all. There were some very pretty buildings; some pictures tomorrow, most likely. After getting home around 11 last night, thought I'd get to slack off a little this morning, but there are notes on every electronic way of reaching me (plus a magic markered note hanging on the kitchen cabinet) informing me there's an important meeting starting right at 9. I can hardly wait!
