• Nice rifle, Officer

    This photo was taken when I was warming up at the Fallout 2002 Ultimate tournament last week. It was the strangest sight: dozens of people throwing around frisbees while drill sergeants barked orders at uniforms.
    Asking around revealed these guys are part of the ROTC program. As a Canadian, the degree to which the millitary is integrated into American society never ceases to surprise me.

  • The importance of giving yourself enough time in the morning

    Got up at 6:45 this morning, aw yeah! I should really get into the habit of waking this early every day — I had such a nice breakfast. Think that set me off on the right foot, ’cause I solved a problem I’d been working on all week this morning. As a mini-celebration, I gave myself an hour and a half for lunch today! Hooray.
    Used part of that to mail a letter (you know, the kind with a stamp on it). Haven’t done *that* in ages.
