We’re off to New York. But first, a stop in Denver to eat Vietnamese with Neal at New Saigon. Our flight doesn’t leave until 12:55am, and on top of that I didn’t get much sleep last night, so we’ll see if I get through tomorrow without a nap. I haven’t been to New York in 14 months. The MetroCard I keep in my wallet has expired. The exciting part is that this time Ben and Amanda are joining us. They’ve never been to New York, and I’m hoping they like it.

I’m not sure why I thought 18 semester-hours would be easier than it’s turning out…
Some time ago, Google started a webmail service. I managed to get an invite pretty early on as a result of knowing Jonah, and I was excited to be able to sign up for [email protected] before any one else grabbed it. (Hey, you never know!) It turns out that Google, for some reason they have not disclosed, decided to limit e-mail addresses to a a minimum of 6 characters. It suggested [email protected]. I figured I might as well get something that someone else would want one day, and picked flyboy. Boy was that a mistake. Within a couple of years…
