As the Days Dwindle

Wow, what a great day of football. VA was even encouraging me to watch, a rarity. Two black coaches representing the nice guy clique in professional sports. The sports media are gonna go hysterical with proclaiming this historic, but it's just a cool thing. Now, will someone give Norm Chow a head coaching gig?

It's only a coupla days till the flight, so we're buttoning things up here. VA's last day at work was on Friday, and she was emotional about it, 'cause she's a rare gem who actually really enjoys what she does. I hope to be that lucky one of these days. Or maybe she hates her job but just doesn't wanna go to VN.

We threw a 'see ya in a coupla years' party the other day and a whole host of friends who came on by were playing around with the notion of visiting us. C'mon down, we'll start up a B-n-B just for ya. I promise to have more food than last night. (sorry about the lack of food dudes).

And it finally snowed here, first snow this winter. DC is considered the South, but it is supposed to snow once in a while. While melting snowcaps are better indicators of environmental change than warm winters, the average person is more experiential than scientific in their outlook. A couple more of these indian winters and those El Nino explanations will not be enough.

Lastly, we nailed down details for our short sojourn in SGN before heading up north. The Company will pay for the hotel. It'll be 70,000VND. $5 bucks. Living high on the hog, courtesy of the expense account. This is the ngot life.
