Thank you, everyone. I hope it doesn't get old hearing that your support means a lot and is quite the spirit-lifter. Because it does and is, and I truly appreciate it.

I've just gotten comfortable (as in, physically) typing on the computer for extended chunks of time -- it's like coming up for air!

Oh, and I've been looking forward to reporting that I got my cookbook, and it's fantastic. Kudos to VW, Deena, Brenda, and Raq.

Hi Jen! I hope you're doing well.

Yeah, and I have cute backpacks; there just seems to be a hierarchy system in college whereby the more senior you become the farther away from the backpack you move.

You could go all the way to a rolly bag....

Glad to see you around here, Jen.

I could, but that seems to be reserved solely for business and economics majors.

What Jesse and SA said, Jen. Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Be your own woman, SA! And take care of your back. You can be a senior liberal arts type with a backpack and/or rolly bag!

I've kind of been saving myself for a backpack more or less like this. But it's pretty cost-prohibitive right now.

This is Jane Espenson from accounting.

Just dropped on 24.

Hee! Awesome. I'll have to keep an eye out for it tonight on the West Coast broadcast.

{{{{{{JenP}}}}}}~~~~~~~~~~~ma!

I know it's been mentioned already today, but it is fucking nasty in the Bay Area right now, weather wise. The ride home was a little scary, and I am pretty sure I won't make it through the night with the power still on.

At least I got to see the gay cowboys on ice first though.
