A friend noted today that neither I nor Obama has blogged since the election. Now, for Obama, that’s understandable. He has had one or two minor details to attend to since early November. These are my excuses:
No. 1: The f*%#ing GRE. When in my life am I going to use the formula for the equation of a line? Never! I can’t imagine a single situation. If I’m wrong, I will print out this blog on a piece of paper and eat it. If, by the time that happens, we no longer have paper, I will lick the computer screen.
No. 2: Work. Which has been crazy (say it in a high-pitched voice for full effect). In fact, I think I’m going to take my name and picture off this blog so I can kinda anonymously write about it because it’s THAT off-the-hook insane.
No. 3: Traveling to Dan’s family’s house for Thanksgiving and winning Texas Hold ‘Em tournaments (OK, coming in No. 2 one of the nights we played, thanks to Grandpa’s years of tutelage. )
No. 4: Bouncing over to Portland to see friends, put in some face time at work and spoil my friend’s brand-new baby. Or at least threaten to.
Tomorrow I’m planning to swing by the Mississippi area — I spotted a sign on a garage last week that said “This way to hipsterville!” and had an arrow pointing down the street. I need a picture before I head back to the hipster-free zone that is central PA.

It was so great to see you!!! I can’t wait for the post about the ridiculous of that dinner at my mother’s in New York. Also, I want to hear the work dish.
