Cheers to url123 for innovating slightly improving upon tinyurl’s service. I’ve switched.

Just bought two tickets for Amanda and I.

On the way to meet up staff from one of my clients for a happy hour in Silver Spring, we got caught in a terrible thunderstorm halfway through the four block walk. Street lights were swinging and signs were swaying. Sasha, Will and I made for the closest awning - the front door of the Discovery Building on Georgia Avenue.

This is probably my favorite fax of all time:

The invite just came my way, this will be my third year going…

And the obligatory halloween gallery. Cop-out last minute costume: Pick a uniform already in the house somewhere and go as that.

Cheers. I don’t go to bars that I can’t walk home from without a designated driver. I’ve got no idea how incapacitated I would be at .08 as I’ve never blown.

My work vehicle for the first three months or so was my personal 1991 Corolla. It did OK but for half that time the exhaust pipe had a hole in it near the catalytic converter so it sounded like I’d riced it out. I worked out OK at work and landed myself a company car - a 2001 Ford Focus ZX3. Not a bad upgrade! I drove the Focus for two years and went through two fuel filters before the lease ran out.

Whenever I’m at the ATM, or any checkout line nowadays, I feel very tinfoil hat paranoid. I Typically cover the number pad as I hit my pin and I typically will look around for any cameras that may be pointed at the numberpad in order to obtain PINs. I’ve done this for years. But as the saying goes, just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not after me.
