in other news, it has come to my attention that i did not make a significant enough effort to recognize and thank those friends and acquaintances that kyle, chris, and myself spent time with in Athens, GA. so i will do that now. we had a great time. absolutely fabulous. the men of XY showed up and wrecked some serious house on the Pong table. those Georgia boys didnt know what was coming. they are probably still crying about it and have lost all confidence in their own skills at playing. we hung out with some really cool people, i got to introduce my W&M friends to the one and only Leslie D. Jones and then we got to meet a bunch of her friends. we got to go do up Athens right, ya know, the way a college town should be. and most of all we got to lay down the smack on leslie's vegetarian roommate who wanted to go get some crap for breakfast. immediate and decisive response: NO. we went to IHOP instead. the trip was amazing, we had a blast. I finally got to see Mitch Hedburg live at UGA, only a couple of weeks before he died. very tragic and sad. but at least my lasting memory of him will be his CD, which i love, his Comedy Central show, and actually seeing him in person. a very funny comedian, even if he had personal issues.

so on the whole, i loved the trip. it was well worth the drive. we had a wonderful time and kyle and chris loved meeting everybody. we would make the trip again in a heartbeat...maybe we will. who knows. we will see.

there you go leslie. sorry it was so belated.
