Up, Up, and Away

I booked my airline ticket for GAFilk. Unfortunately, daisy_knotwise can't go to GAFilk, because it's over Orthodox Christmas and she's covering for one of her co-workers. On the other hand, she's getting time off around Christmas so we can visit her brother in Colorado, so it's not totally unreasonable. Just inconvenient.

I'm also working on an itinerary for 1812 Tones and am trying to convince Gretchen to come along. But having recently recovered from the Venusian Death Cold (TM), she's worried about succumbing to exhaustion. I've been explaining to her what a nice relaxing trip it will be.

We'll see how this goes.

Orthodox Christmas? As a kid I was in the Greek Orthodox Church, and it observed Christmas on the same date as everyone else. Is this something else?

Presumably Russian Orthodox, which goes by the 'old' calendar and celebrates Christmas on (I think) January the 7th.

Awww, I will miss Gretchen! But I am looking forward to seeing you there!
