My start date at Microsoft has been set for April 9. It seems so close and yet so far away - in many ways I wish it would just be over.

Plain cottons in large quantities sounds good to me :) Feasting gear may be appreciated by the college? I hear they had a good number of sign-ups this year. Are you still in touch with any of them at all?

On the one hand that sounds like an awesome wrought, but its probably easier just to take a few driving lessons when I'm over there.
