I was in a car on my way home from work this evening (Sidebar: It is always dangerous typing things like that, because now my work knows that I was able to go home before at least 9:30 p.m. I am such the slacker.), and my driver decides he wants to talk. But he doesn't just want to talk. After I tell him I'm at 33rd and 8th, he proceeds to say how he wishes I lived in Connecticut, so the job would be worth more. He continues saying this for a while, all while disclaiming that it doesn't matter, and he'll act professional because the customer is always right. I guess this is all understandable, since I do live somewhat obnoxiously close to work. But read where it all goes wrong, after the crease.

Finally, almost a month later, I am putting up pictures of my last visit to Charlottesville, wherein I was trapped under 65 feet of snow. I mean, let's be real, there are much worse places to be trapped. In any event, go check out the photo albums up there at the top and see the awesome snowcat we made. And if you're curious about the mini snowman, that was intended to be an arm. We just never made the second arm. So...yeah.

This may be one of the most absurd "sports" I have ever seen, but man do I want to get a team together for this. I'm not entirely sure how, but I stumbled across the NYC Social Sports Club's Office Chair Polo league, which apparently has not yet started up. It looks mad fun, and I think I would get extremely, extremely competitive.

Today I went to Peter Luger's for lunch to celebrate Kevin's birthday. Steak was delicious. People were good. Schlag was...present. With all the best intentions, I came home and changed to go to the gym. But then Akua -- we'll call her, saboteur -- decided to IM me and ask if I wanted to go on a cupcake run with her. A cupcake run! Who was I to say no? And I mean, that's sort of like running, right? So, immediately after eating my weight in medium rare, juicy, sizzling steak, I opted for cupcakes over the gym. I'm a failure.

I braved the elements, sort of, last night in order to make it back to New York City so I could go to work, because I am such a dedicated associate. I booked a 7:10 pm Amtrak train from DC to New York, expecting to get in at 10:30. Alas, there was a two hour delay. Why? Because they couldn't find an engine for the train. AN ENGINE. ON A TRAIN. How do you just run out of engines? Sigh. As a result, I didn't get in until 1am. Running out of engines...for crying out loud.

I drink a not-insignificant amount of coffee a day. Couple this with a liter or two of water a day. The result is that I end up spending a good portion of day going to the restroom in the office to take care of business. I know. You didn't need to know that. You certainly didn't want to know that. But now that it's out there, I'd just like to share a few of my thoughts. After all, a guy's best thinking usually comes from within the four walls of indoor plumbing goodness.

Woo woo, I've been certified for admission to the DC Bar! Soon I will be a dual-licensed attorney. No, that's not a real phrase, I don't think. But doesn't it make me sound way smarter than I actually am? That's really all I'm going for here. And yes, I did, as a matter of fact, submit my application way back in April. No, I don't know what took so longer for them to process it. It's sure not the skeletons in my closet, I can tell you that much. Nope. Nothing to see here folks, move it right along now.
