It's enough to be on your way

Another week down, and I know the following things:

1. If there is such a thing as a geographical panacea, Madison, WI would come close.
2. I tried to quit drinking coffee and lasted one whole day.
3. Employers are much less hasty about providing employment than I am to procure it.
4. I had a dream that I didn't have ANY teeth. Freud?

So to prevent any Debby Downer parallels, I'm taking a little break from the blogosphere. On an exciting note, Mare's blog is now open to everyone and anyone. Look at my beautiful friend in Senegal! Among other things, she is doing God's work- by bringing James Taylor to Segou. I'm only half kidding.

Your lack of posts is making me sad.

I'm not sure if you understand how much happiness I get from reading and subsequently laughing out loud when I imagine you saying the things you write.

I miss you.
