  How amusing. How delightfully droll. I take off this afternoon for a weekend urlLink chorus retreat in bucolic Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. On the agenda:  endless rehearsals in rooms designed NOT to carry sound  bonding rituals  mediocre food  a couple miles' running if the weather is nice  the always-fun No Talent Show, for which I didn't prepare anything this year The place where we're staying is a huge campus of cabins and meeting rooms rendered habitable year-round by a series of glassed-in, above-ground tunnels -- not unlike a giant urlLink Habitrail .
And when I get back on Sunday, I have a second date with Red Shirt -- albeit a second date at a crowded street fair with a group of his friends -- some of whom are my friends as well . I can't decide if it will be awkward or fun. I'll let you know either way.
