It was all OK, on the 25th. Many people showed up and somehow I was able to change my attitude and ended up having a pretty fun time. The beverages helped. The nearly unlimited food definitely helped.

It snowed last night and today it’s wintery raining. The walk down to work in these conditions reminds me how long its been since I was really outside. When I’m in San Diego the week after next, I’ll drive out into the desert and hope it gets cold at night, at least cold enough for a fire.

I’m wearing black tights under ripped jeans and it was perfect for outside, but I’m starting to roast in here, like that time I wore my pajamas under my clothes in elementary school.

Dissertation writing, man. This is it.
