and the kids were playing cricket with no shoes

i don't understand why people dial a phone number with the phone on speaker then pick up the receiver when the call goes through. why not just pick up the receiver and dial if you know you aren't going to talk to the person you're calling on speaker phone?

maybe it's just my raging inferiority complex, but there's something about the whole practice that strikes me as snobbish. it's like "look how cool i am. i know how to use speaker phone, but i choose not to at the last second."

Hope everybody had a fun and filling thanksgiving. I spent several days in Minden recharging my batteries. they're drained again, but at least i'll always have the memories. nothing particularly interesting to report from the weekend, which is actually my preferred method of spending weekends.

I'm having sushi for dinner tonight and i'm pretty excited about it.
