the internet is broken at my house. this is having a noticeable reductionary effect on my ability to keep up the blog.

a post-AHA thank you:
Geoff Swenson- although you gave me grief about the way i spell my name, your opening of your home to us was key to the viability of the trip. your hospitality is much appreciated. big thanks.

after a weekend of intellectual stimulation, i'm finding it a bit difficult to adjust back to life in the office. although bored, i am unfazed, and plan on maintaining my sanity in the face of the drudgery of printing & stapling by adopting an aggressively neutral attitude.

also, Jamaal Tinsley has the best beard in basketball.
