The table of my life

Look at this nice table and — what’s Iceland doing on it again?

Rob has been offered a full-time position. We are discussing it. I promise that I will let you know when there is more to tell.

    wow, the questions abound…
    will you go?
    Will you take mittens, or no more?
    what will you put in front of the cats nose?
    how will you spend all the angry sheep you earn?

    good luck making your decision.

    Well, you said that your job was only temporary.
    You need to put up a poll for us to bet on whether he will go and you will stay or both of you go or neither of you go.

    Why not do both, as our cousin Julie says when asked if she wants red or white wine.

    -e- : I come completely from the mountains.

    -d-: I might just do that.

    Kris: I know. That’s my feeling exactly.

    Mom: If we can figure out a way, that’s exactly what we want.

    Congrats on the good news. It’s nice to have choices, anyway, even if they come at inconvenient times.

    Mary, to quote Uncle Sam, “We. Want. You. To stay!” What better a place for a woman of your diverse talents than NYC? Stay and play for a bit! (Okay, I’ll admit this is a purely self-interested viewpoint, but thought I’d express it anyway. Congrats on Rob’s job offer!)

    Eugene: Sometimes options become overwhelming. This is one of those times. We want to go to Iceland and we want to stay in NYC.

    Mercurio: Gah! This is why this choice is so hard.

    SHEEEEEOOOOTTT!

    Well, if it’s too good an opportunity for him, it was nice having you on the East Coast. Then again, us freeloaders love visiting places where there’s folks we know.

    And Sigur Ros!

    See, that’s the thing I think people have been overlooking — you can come visit us in Iceland.

    Heh! Your funeral. Okay, well if you do go, can we come and hang?

    Friends are moving to Puerto Rico for 7 months while the wife does some research. So we’ll be heading to the warmer climes. And fi you guys go, well… they got saunas, right?

    Saunas? Oh yes. And thermal springs and heated swimming pools and unlimited hot showers…
