For those of you whom I haven't talked to directly lately:

Well, Chris was forced to pull out of UTI because the carpool thing was a total fiasco. To say he's not happy about it is an understatement. We need a car now more than ever, but it has to be something we can afford to upkeep and insure. (This last means liability-only, of course.)

It's Friday night.

I'm sitting in front of my computer posting here.

Chris is in the middle of another Karazhan raid on WoW, helping guildmates level up.

This is what your social life looks like when you're impecunious.

Chris and I went daffodil hunting tonight.
