First entry from new Facebook account.

A giant black hole of time has just opened.

1. Great match with the Dragons.  Drank too much in Chicago, as is often the case.  Had a great time despite some crappy air travel.
   
• Lots of pre-Memorial materials to be had (IML guide, BearPride materials [with some photos of LJers around the globe]), next weekend will be a crazy time there. I'm sorry I'll be missing it.
  
• Plenty of zulus at Big Chicks during the 3rd half.
• Delicious dinner at Mia Francesca
• Quick spin through Oak Park to see some Frank Lloyd Wright work.
2. Muxtape is like crack, I created a list of some old favorites.
3. My little part of the world is turning green, thank god for warmer weather here in the midwest.
4. I'll be in Ireland in about 20 days, there's too much to do between now and then.

Come join the Mayhem for a late night of drinking, wrestling, and lube at Innuendo.



The festivities start at 10. Shot specials, raffles, and rugby players pinning softball players into submission.

...I've heard from my US Senator in a long time.

This Senator, Norm Coleman, has a reputation for being a complete a-hole (i.e. refusing to sign the token Pride proclamation as mayor of the capital city, getting voted in as mayor then becoming a Republican, being Bush's bitch since then, etc.).

I sent an email voicing my support for Domestic Partner Benefits for Federal Employees not expecting to hear back. I got an email on Tuesday from him, he does not support the bill, but he is "open" to further exploration of it.

I didn't expect him to get behind it, I sent the email for my own piece of mind, and he responds with the most non-offensively crafted letter. Wow.

I still think he's an ass, but I'm impressed with his ability to hire someone to write form letters well.

The snow isn't exactly heavy or threatening, it's just a nuisance I don't want to deal with today.

The city of Eagan pulled our pitch, so now we're playing up in Otsego. If you're not local, cross the river Styx, and take a left at the third ring of hell. But I'm just being cranky.

Spring is one of those times when there is too much to do and not enough hours in the day.

Off to Madison to play rugby.

Ryan and Brent cooked up some new recruiting posters. This is my favorite.

I'm back from Puerto Vallarta and have two work days under my belt. I also have a dozen Pacificos, 4 orders of Chilaquiles, and 10 Mango margaritas under my belt, needless to say my belt isn't fitting very well these days. I'm blaming it on La Palapa, the Red Cabbage, Trio, and Casa Naranjo.

All portliness aside, it was a wonderful trip. We had great traveling companions, celebrated our ten year anniversary, and even managed to stay out of too much trouble.



I didn't get as much reading done as I had hoped. There was a lot of eye candy to keep track of, podcasts to catch up on, and waiters to harass. I couldn't get chunky little Edwin to sit on my lap, nor could I ever get enough of Oscar's dimply smile. The waiters at Ritmos took care of us every day.



Now it's back to the salt mines.
