Julie and I began having a dicussion on people’s birthdays this morning, and I had noticed from facebook that Jon Ardrey’s birthday is coming up. So I said “Jonathon Ardrey’s birthday is the 19th.”

Today is a Friday, and I am going home at 4:30. To some, that may not be such a big deal, but I am quite excited about it. Also, we are hoping to go to The Ardrey tonight.
For lunch, a bunch of us went to Smokin’ Joes, where I engaged with a burnt [...]

Yeah that describes this weekend sufficiently. If you have any questions, let me know.
Well, OK. Saturday brought with sleeping in for a little bit, as well as going back to the gym for the first time in almost 6 weeks. I’m still feeling it, but it was really nice. Once finals [...]
