So far I don't have all the videos up. Wait patiently. Thank you.

Also, a funny thing happened to a co-worker of mine the other day. He was parking in the A lot just West of the gym when he saw some guy, apparently fed up with the fact that the orange cones/yellow tape was still cordoning off the curb parking area on the North side of the lot even though there had been no snow for about a month, in the act of taking said cones/tape and chucking them into the bushes/trees on the Northwest corner of the gym so that he could park there legally. (I mean the cones'n'tape just make it illegal to park there, not to move them from there.)

Here's a small hint for any boy/girl relationships: be friends.

By that I don't mean be "just friends" like you shouldn't have any kind of romantic relationship. I mean that any relationship that is more than just friends should still be first and foremost a friendship. If you think about the friendships you have with people that you are good friends with there are certain things in that kind of a friendship. Just make those things the basis of your relationships that are more than just friends and they won't topple. One of those things is to think of the other person's feelings/needs/wants/etc.. Of course if you're all hitched and stuff that aspect becomes more important, but it's the same basic idea.

Just an apostrophe I had today.

Jason, sounds like your techno-adventures are varied and never-ending. I haven't really posted much about my own tech-spoits lately, but suffice it to say that I'm going to be working quite a bit over the next 3 days to try to finish our (my work group) entry for Adobe's Flex 2 application competition. There are some sweet prizes if we take first (don't know what are chances are of that, but you never can tell). I can say, though, that I sympathize with your experience with the different wired faries. The one that visits me most often is the Random Fairy. It makes random things happen in the apps I develop. And the Random Fairy gets the biggest kick out of later on sending over its friend, the Logical Continuity Fairy, to tap our app on the noggin and suddenly make there spring into existence a Reason for why the effects of the Random Fairy's tampering are happening. It's like things 'splode for no good reason and after 3 or 4 hours of digging around we finally find the Reason, which apparently didn't exist until just before we found it.

Woes of coding.

Well, good to hear from you all, including the long-time-no-see BrittChap. How's it be going?

Everybody remember Aaron's party on Friday.

And do your homework.

And don't crash your car.

Or mine.

Thanks.
