Had a very nice chat with Brandi this evening. Vito joined us briefly (until his DSL link went down). Brandi's even signed up to be a blog contributor. I shall goad her into utilizing that access -- by talking about her on the blog until she feels the need to post comments in her own defense!

Okay, I won't do that. We haven't been down to the Carolinas to see Alane's cousins since the run-up to Bazzukajoe's wedding. We need to get down there again. In the meantime, Brandi's semester started up this week. You can't tell me ridiculous stuff doesn't happen in school! Brandi, save us from our daily routine: share your plight!

Elsewhere, it's frickin' freezing in the NY area these days, with snow on the ground and annoyance on my mind. Not Vito-level annoyance, mind you... Because that's hard to reach.

Frylock: why does my dad call my wife Alana?
