greetings from the slag pile
Greetings from the frigid slag-heaps of Wilkes-Barre, PA! It's colder here right now than in Wisconsin, a frigid -2 degrees Farenheit. Nice weather to be indoors at the moment.
I'll be brief as I'm kinda tired at the moment. I'm teaching basic desktop navigation to two classes from 4pm to 1am this week and next, but I'll be back in DC for the weekend. This schedule isn't too far off from my sleep patterns, but we'll see how it goes.
This part of the country is a lot like where I grew up, in that you can just strike up a conversation with someone without them freaking out like they do in DC instantly wondering what you want from them. I'm in the elevator and just start talking with someone, then we walk away, assuming to resume the conversation whenever we meet again without even knowing their name. It's a nice break from what I call the 'New England Shield' that tends to unsettle midwesterners on the East Coast.
My, what big arms you have. Didn't watch the Superbowl last night. Had I been up on who was playing I might have, as I do lust over Alstott.
