Going to NYC again this weekend. Staying with a friend in Queens. Should be a blast, as always.

Well, not much posting lately. In fact, Mr. Coolen has been writing more than me lately. For shame.

However, I have done some work on the rest of the site. I added links to my newly-updated resume, a database for ASP folks, and a quote generator I ripped off from Holly Haines (whose Dad just had a heart attack, so an email to let her know you care couldn't hurt).

I hope you enjoy the new stuff.

It all started with pink lemonade flavored drink.

Definitely.

Tyson and I were standing around in his kitchen, following one of the endless number of summertime baseball games that were our lives back then, drinking that oh-so-sweet, oh-so-sour punch in big icy glassfuls, when the label on the plastic milk jug grabbed my attention.

It was Meijer brand ‘Pink Lemonade Flavored Drink’, from Meijer’s.

Meijer’s is the greatest store ever known on the face of the earth, but that’s an entirely different story, one that involved Joe showing that old lady his melons.

The question leapt into my brain (never to entirely leave, I admit) - was the drink pink, and lemonade flavored, or was it pink lemonade flavored?

What I wouldn’t have given for a hyphen somewhere on that damn label.

Is pink lemonade actually a flavor?

Pagan is coming! Pagan is coming!

I couldn't be more excited. Pagan, who may be the most incomparable person out there, is coming up to Boston from NYC this weekend.

Super. Super Duper.

Did you ever want to unsend an email? Me too.

"If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being.

And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"

How am I supposed to feel?

I just finished my charity walk on Sunday. It was everything I expected, and more. I met great people, challenged myself, and helped raise a boatload of money for a great cause. I gave everything I had - I really cared. So I'm proud of that.

But now I'm back in "real life," and it's way different. Too different. Shouldn't I care, and give all of me, every day? I'm reminded how unimportant my job, and most of my life, is. I want to care some more. Once more I want to be around people who care. I feel like I'm wasting flesh (namely mine). So I'm not proud of that.

Mostly though, I just wanna go home. I'm tired of Massachusetts.
