Tuesday
After being up until nearly 4 AM and getting up at 8:30 (well, that’s when the alarm went off, I didn’t get out of bed for another :20), I was glad that today was a short day at work. The cup of espresso-laden, mocha flavored caffeinated beverage didn’t hurt either.

(New Year’s Day by U2, too…. just because)

Stray Toasters

  • I neglected to mention something a few weeks ago: I nave created a new word: “jacknuts.” It is a hybrid of “jackass” and “fucknuts” (or “dorknuts” or “(fill-in-the-blank)-nuts”). It’s used along the same lines as “idiotstick.” In the past couple of weeks, I have found many uses for it. Feel free to use it in conversation; you’ll find that it fits in very easily.
  • It snowed today. It was a little overcast this morning, but it started coming down around noon. I’m sure that the area resorts are quite happy about this.
  • We had lunch with Teresa and her husband, Shane, this afternoon; we are also going to their house to ring in the new year. We roamed around the Club of Sam and Mart d’Wal for NYE snackage. It has been a long time since I’ve been to Sam’s…

This is my last post of 2002. Wow. In retrospect, it’s been an interesting year: From the Winter Olympics to visiting a couple of new states (Arizona and Oregon) to the USPS to starting my new job. It’s also been a good year; I don’t look back on it with any regrets (that I can remember). I’m looking forward to 2003.

With that, I shall bid everyone a Happy New Year. Be careful and be safe, I expect to see all of your posts in the new year.

Namaste.
