Cash, not only is that a great letter, but the whole event is one of those that reaffirm that humanity might not be quite ripe for being lined up against a wall and mown down with a machine gun. Yet.

smonster, I was in a hurry to get to work yesterday, and then when I got home, was so cold and frozen I had to snuggle intensely with Daniel for a good long while. So here is what I think: You look great with dark hair, I think you will look great with red all over, and I would also like to see you in red highlights sometime. I second suggestions for a wine-red, and I bet you would totally rock a plum kind of color, too. So basically, there is no wrong answer there.

Cash, that is a lovely letter and an excellent follow-up to a lovely gesture by a stranger.

Woke up this morning with my head feeling woozy.

Also, just saw a couple of young folks come in all dressed up in their interview suits but with no coats. People: it is 12 degrees out with a windchill below zero. WEAR A COAT.

Just like in real life!

Working on a college campus, I am continually astonished at the stunningly weather-inappropriate sartorial choices students make.

Well, I don't dress like that too often...

P-C:

Enjoying?

Unfurling?

Reveling in?

P.-C., "unrolling" is fine. However, I'd probably delete that part as unnecessary. After all, that is the only way to get one on, so why bother saying it?

Now I'm expecting people to come up with other ways of getting a condom on.

True. Usually it's just the shorts and flip-flops.

Woot! A co-worker just brought a big bag of homemade cookies around for each of us (many different varieties -- overachievers). A couple of our co-workers are out today, and although they received cookie packages on their desks, the resr of us think that they never need to even know they were there.
