My work paid off. The event made the front page of the area newspaper! I have to get into writing press releases again - I'm getting rusty.

I'm so glad there was a Desert Sun photographer there.

Home, sweet home

I'm home and I already depart tomorrow. :( I'll write later about my adventures drinking Leine's, getting wet at the MOA, going to the impound lot, throwing a guy out of a concert and going to my old stomping grounds.

But I did get what I came here for.

I got to sit on Fred's lap after the Cowboy Mouth concert! Yum!

Da Bears let us down.

Thisis when you know you've made it. Ahh, memories. I grew out of graphing and into my business calculator. I love paying off student loans.

I'm feeling much better. I'm rehydrated, back to hiking and getting off the toilet. I went to a Super Bowl party today with all big Bears fans. They started off so well. At least the commercials were good and the food was plentiful, that's all I require for a good Bowl party.

I'm excited to be coming home soon. I'm in dire need of a vacation.

Other than that, I'm doing well and a deeper entry is coming soon. I've been reading a lot lately so I'm feeling particularly philosophical and saucy.
