I will get all caught up this week, so help me God, I will!

Okay. So when we got to Lisa’s, which is both deceptively small and large. It occupies the entire second floor of a tiny house, but they’ve managed to install five small rooms and a bathroom there.

Hey! You! Yeah, you! The Scavvie.

Yo, we aren’t all in Chicago right now! Why don’t you post a quick comment and tell us the final ranking of the ’07 hunt, since I can’t seem to find the results on any of the dozen relevant websites or blogs!

– Sorry I’ve been absent lately. My thesis is done, but the school year isn’t all wrapped up yet. I have the Capture the Flag game tomorrow, the writing program ceremony next Thursday, and commencement the day after. I’m also starting preparations for my next writing project, which I’ll be writing about soon.

After the Mikvah, we hung around on the point for a little bit, and started to move inland. We decided to stop for food at the Snail, which is one of my favorite Hyde Park restaurants, and had one of the most invigorating political discussions I’ve had in awhile, periodically interrupted by the velociraptor chirp of Sam’s new cel phone.

Things got off to a rocky start. While I arrived at the airport over forty minutes before the flight, Jess hadn’t arrived yet, or if she had, I couldn’t find her at our meeting place. I walked back and forth for about a half hour before I bumped into her (she was upset) at the baggage check.
