Cool Chicks In Chateau de Currt-Dawg

Today begins a four-day weekend for me, which works out nicely because Charis and Liz will be arriving by train this afternoon. Charis is the sister of my good friend Abby (both of whom are super-cool), and Liz is their friend (who I haven't met yet, but is automatically cool by association). They spent last week in Paris, and the earlier part of this week touring Rome and Pompeii. Shaun and I are going to take them around northern Italy and, I think, Austria. (I'm not sure of the exact schedule yet.) They'll be crashing at my place, so all my free time this week has been spent cleaning; but that's cool because I love having guests, and, let's be honest, my place needed a good cleaning anyway.
