First, the headache from hell has left the building! Woo hoo! I've been practically living off of Alleve for the last few days, and it's nice to be even vaguely coherent again.

Now, I noticed that there are a number or packing lists for Clarion available on the net. I have found some of these useful, and so I am including mine here as well. I figure I can put it up and then provide a post-Clarion run down a\on what was useful. Plus, I have remarkibly little to say today and it gives me something to write here. :)

Notes

*I adore novelty socks and so never, or nearly never wear plain ones. I have all sorts with animals on them, a few with flowers, and a couple pairs in patterns. The ones I'm currently wearing have sheeps, pigs, and cows on them.

**I like to write letters in strange inks. Usually purple or green. It's Tom's fault.

And this is my packing list. Can anyone think of anything I've forgotten? (And yes, I stole that from Chance).

Anyway, there will be more Clarion randomness later, I'm sure.

Bye, all!
