I’m off to california.

am I the only one who gets junk mail with proverbs like this one in it:

TWO MULES well-laden with packs were trudging along. One carried
panniers filled with money, the other sacks weighted with grain.
The Mule carrying the treasure walked with head erect, as if
conscious of the value of his burden, and tossed up and down the
clear-toned bells fastened to his neck. His companion followed
with quiet and easy step. All of a sudden Robbers rushed upon
them from their hiding-places, and in the scuffle with their
owners, wounded with a sword the Mule carrying the treasure,
which they greedily seized while taking no notice of the grain.
The Mule which had been robbed and wounded bewailed his
misfortunes. The other replied, I am indeed glad that I was
thought so little of, for I have lost nothing, nor am I hurt with
any wound.

what’s the deal here? First they annoy me by clogging my inbox, and now they’re PREACHING AT ME???

The nerve of these people!

It truly utterly did.

2 things:

Tshirts. There were 27 people who showed up and got a t-shirt last night. I had enough shirts, thank God. It was awesome walking into a room and seeing everyone with a Froydstravaganza shirt on. It made me happy.

Mead. Wow. First, the norse were NOT kidding when they were talking about mead hangovers. And I didn’t even have that many, at most 2.5 bottles of the stuff. But wow. Ouch. my head. Another thing about the mead…I don’t know what happened between wednesday and yesterday…but WOW. As I said last night, it improved about 10 times between those days. And I figure it’ll improve even more by the time I get back from california.

anyway. Anyone up for chinese for lunch? Grubbsy was all excited about this last night, and my stomach says I ought to be as well.
