Today, once again, work was good. This is coupled with the fact that the weather is UNBELIEVABLY nice. Unfortunately, it looks like it is going to rain all this weekend (which, happily, is a three day weekend - isn't working for the government fun?). The only frustration is trying to get Exceed on my computer (yet one more evil Microsoft product).

And along that line of thought... Irwin emailed me to let me know he's either going to Japan or Barcelona over the week of July 4th. Maybe if he picks Japan, I'll try to save up for a plane ticket to meet him there. The incredible non-sequitor: is it really the Irwin I used to know that is VOLUNTARILY leaving the country? of his own free will?. Some people amaze me sometimes when they do things that out of character. I don't know if I am more impressed or surprised.
