tom wolfe and telescopes

man, talk about a day of ups and downs.
this morning i received a very accusatory email from an arty gras artist who said that she recieved her painting back with a "puncture" in it. Two weeks after she sends me an email saying that she recieved the painting and thanks for the careful packaging and she wants 400 dollars and she'll throw the piece away.
i don't even really want to get into it more than that because it makes me so upset that i'm actually shaking.
and then on the drive to work today (which took 35 minutes because i had to re-route my path not once, not twice, not three but four times due to 4 singular accidents.
after that the day has gotten better. carol and darius may have found a really really cheap (well...comparitively) supplier of lumber for fort reno and i found a very jolly and helpful man in damascus who is going to put together a vintage telescope for me. with the exception of a boardering on inappropriate 6-incher joke, he seems all right.

also: colleen somehow got tickets to some tom wolfe thing tonight which is followed by a reception at the willard. that's at 7 which will be close on the heels of a dentist appointment, but it'll be worth it. TOm Wolfe! Food at the Willard! Probably open bar!
