so, in no particular order, here is what my life has been like since i left town:
- Had a four-and-a-half hour flight to upstate NY. Remember all those crazy storms a week ago from tomorrow? That was me sitting on the runway.
- I rode a mechanical buffalo. Well, really, it was a mechanical bull, but it was dressed up as a buffalo.
- I went to a kickass Canadian restaurant, which is one of the best meals i have had in N. America outside of NYC. In addition, I got to dine with
and . - I took some neat photos. I hope to have them on my Flickr soon.
- I went to a strip club. Rather, I was taken to a strip club. In Canadia. I was taken to a VIP room, where someone was comping the evening for four people with his AMEX black card.
- I bought a bottle of Absinthe, for old time’s sake.
- I worked a lot, slept very little, and am more-or-less on the verge of total collapse.
- I re-connected with an old friend, who I have not talked to in over four years.
- I drove in the worst rainstorm I have ever driven in. I was doing 20mph in my rental with the wipers maxed, and I still couldn’t see a single thing.
- I finished an entire bottle of Single Malt Scotch, by myself, slept two hours, then woke up at 6am to do laps in the pool prior to getting breakfast.
- I met someone who knows as much about Old English and Beowulf as I do.
I had internet access, but no time. If I missed anything big in the past week, let me know!
