Reading (For Dummies)

Back in the thick

So Annie left New Jersey on Sunday afternoon, an afternoon of rain and boredom and nostalgia and all those things. I wanted to go climbing or sailing or something, but the weather sucked too much to do anything but drive my "new" car (1991 Subary Legacy wagon).

But....Sunday did let me see some people.

Steph Raible

Steph and I grabbed some coffee at Starbucks (hiss, boo, evil) and gabbed about where our lives are going. We try to do this several times a year, but we usually only end up getting together about every 6 months. Cool to see where she's going with her life, she's a person I probably will never lose touch with.

After that, I went to Kat's, and immediately left to get a birthday cake for her mother. Then I ran into more people.

Lauay!!!

While out with Cliff and some other kid that I forget the name of, we ran into Lauie at the Acme. Then I went driving with Lauie to try and get Kat's mom some birthday presents. It didn't work, but we ran into more people at WalMart.

The Mroczkowski Brothers, Matt (L) and Andy (R)

I probably have never written about the Mroczkowski clan before in my journal. Andy was a good friend when I was a socially inept high school weenie (as opposed to now, when I'm a socially inept grad school weenie, but ohwell). As much as I disagree with his religion, I am grateful for knowing him, because he introduced religious ideas to me and that made me more of a scientist, and better able to stand up for my beliefs. Oh yeah, and he has a walrus rib over the door to his house.

Well, the party went off all right, I went home kinda earlyish to sleep some, and ended up oversleeping. So I hit the road in my new car, said goodbye to both my parents and even my brother (rare that I say goodbye to people, maybe I'm becoming more responsible?).

While on the highway, I got a tasty treat.

Yum

Galati is a very tasty treat, and I've been trying to find it for weeks, but none can be had in Syracuse (you can always let me know if you know where to get some). I guess German lacks all things frozen....
