Things have been going well. All packing must be done for tomorrow, so this will be short. I found the following list written on a piece of cardboard and lodged in a stack of old *stuff* that I sorted through while packing. Based on the handwriting and the type of pen used, I'm guessing I wrote it some time between 1997 and 2001. If anyone has any ( Read more... )

Finished project 2 - decided to jump to the tulips instead. Went home for the weekend. It was fun -- got to see X play v-ball tournament. Fun times, all in all, though I did not get to see as many of my important people as I would have liked. Oh well; we all have our own commitments. Well, time to get to work.
