I stopped by Ritual Arts. She was wicked busy. Anyway, here's what happened: 1) She is not interested in having another driver 'cause this is supposed to be their romantic get-away. 2) The leave date is Aug 23, but it's not yet clear whether they're even going to Ca at all! (Don't know where the indecision lies.) 3) I gave her the cell phone number and she actually wrote it into her address book (instead of having it on a scrap of paper somewhere). So, flying is looking pretty likely at this point. Next time I see a cheap Sherpa Bag on eBay, I'll grab it!
