Footnotes from a true but non-existent update post
1 Earlier, the mother of that same family had asked me if i spoke their language. Of course i didn't. The ensuing discussion revealed that the son and daughter had failed to pay attention to the loudspeaker system and had thus missed their flight. Had the mother spoken fluent English, i doubt they would have missed it.
2 This is reconstructed from rumors. Alternate versions have the father-in-law hitting the child, both with and without lasik surgery involved. I can't claim actual knowledge here.
3"What happens when a UChicago student transfers to Northwestern? Both schools' average IQ goes up five points." In Northwestern's defense, he told the joke in a truly UChicago manner -- he had to repeat it twice and was delivered unfunnily each time.
4 Recognized, actually, by the tattoo on her inside right forearm -- her hair had grown significantly and the weariness on her face rendered her not immediately recognizable.
5 This is the A who dropped me for a Glamour magazine, not the A who broke up with me via email. At this point in the walk, though, it would not have surprised me to see her, too, and S, who lives nearby.
6 The logistics of this are complicated but, i think, possible. The question is less the weight (fairly negligible in comparison) than the bulk. And, well, whether there's a place to change.
