Ah, boogers. I've been out of town for two weeks. Second one of these things in a row that I've missed.

To whomever arranges these events (presumably the enigmatic Anu), I greatly appreciate these things even if I don't get to participate. It sounds a little stupid when I say it aloud or even when I type it, but I do feel that even though I'm absent that the world is a little better place for having had this sort of discussion.
