Gifts.

I was given a bag of Starburst Jelly Beans today from a kind person who knows how much I enjoy them and also knows this. Would it be inappropriate to re-gift them to, say, the first person who responds to this post or a homeless man on the street?

What a Week.

Monday: I locked myself out of my office and had to call my coworker (who was home sick) to let me in. Not one of my finest moments.

Tuesday: Started my day with a trip to the dentist. Then when I got home I was greeted by a ticket in the mail. One of those camera tickets. Argh.

Thursday: Caught a grungy man breaking into my Boss's car. I walked down the street yelling "If you ever come back on our property I will call the cops!" Luckily he got away with only a few quarters. He left a set of keys behind. When he is locked out of his house, maybe that will teach him to brake into cars that don't belong to him.

Raw

I read this article on the wonder that is raw milk. I learned that in Pennsylvania it is legal to sell it, so I think on my next trek though PA, I should partake. I do think it would be pretty cool to be an underground raw milk consumer though (meet my, uh, dealer in a dark alley, wear all black, grab my goods out of a cooler...). Unfortunately, it is illegal to bring it across the border into other states, so my consumption will be limited to PA (unless I am feeling particularly edgy, and like the taste of course). Maybe they sell it in Dutch Country and (after Lent) I can eat a whoopie pie and chase it down with a tall glass of raw milk.

Who's in?

Weekend Fun

Since Washington Dc is finally getting warm, I was finally able to go on a bike ride. A few friends and I rode the Mt. Vernon Trail that leads from DC to Mt. Vernon, it was great. Afterwards we (Tom) made breakfast, and then spent the rest of the beautiful day playing tennis.

Thought of the day

"I have the most liberal sentiments, and feelings of charity towards all sects, parties, and denominations; and the rights and liberties of conscience, I hold most sacred and dear, and despise no man for differing with me in matters of opinion."
