Am off to England tomorrow. Would much rather stay at home b/c spring hit Princeton yesterday, and I want to relax and run around and eat ice cream and catch up on my work, rather than go on an insanely scheduled choir tour of a cold, wet country, but that's just b/c I'm an ungrateful git. Hopefully I will complain less when I'm there. Will be back on Monday - don't know if I'll have e-mail access for the next week.

minyan came! It was great. She taught me Risk on my LOTR board, and I played it for the first time, and she kicked my butt, but it's so much fun! I want to play again immediately.

Must pack. Any advice on how to survive Tuesday and Wednesday when the only sleep I'll get is probably about 4 hours on the plane Tuesday night if I'm lucky would be much appreciated - I anticipate Wednesday will be extraordinarily painful, b/c we have a fully scheduled day and I am not one for the sleep deprivation.

LOTR risk board? Wait wait... who gave you that?

Have good beer in England. Because life's too short for shitty beer.

The LOTR risk board rules! I should not have been so snotty and doubtful about Risk all this time. What fun! You should come play it with me!

Have a wonderful time, despite your very reasonable misgivings, and thanks for the dessert you sent down with the lovely minyan.

*love*

Melatonin can be used to counteract jet-lag:

Or there's a homeopathic remedy, which I have no evidence for or against:

From another health site: "All antioxidants help to decrease the effects of jet lag. Extra doses of vitamins A, C, and E, as well as zinc and selenium, two days before and two days after a flight help to alleviate jet lag."

And you can Google other jet-lag tips.

Have fun!!

(And next time you're in Boston, come play Risk with Jon and me, we love it too!)
