Beer

I was in this sports bar on Thursday watching basketball and drinking some beer when the waitress came up and asked me if I wanted another. I looked at my glass which had only a mouthful of beer left and thought about it and said, "Not yet, I'll order one in a few minutes." She looked at me a little confused and said, "If you want another one why don't you just order it now?" I proceeded to explain to her that I love beer. If she were to set another beer down in front of me at that moment I would immediately finish this one and start on that one. My self control only extends far enough to holding off on ordering another one. She just looked at me weird and walked away. Five minutes later I touched her arm as she walked by and said, "I'll have that beer now." Score one for self control.

A slideshow of cool images from Hubble, put to cheesy music about angels. The pictures are cool at least. And it features the Eye of God! Hubble Slideshow

Not that anyone cares about Vermont...

but I had to post this article, because it contains this quote from the Governor:
"I respect the laws of the United States, of course," Mr. Douglas said. "But the cows have to be milked."

Well boys I have some good news to share.

I'm going to graduate school. I got into CU-Boulder with funding, and evidently I just got another grant, a chancellor's fellowship, for another chunk of money. They are even offering to fly me out there for a visit. I just want you all to acknowledge the Matthew P. King level of deception it requires for some school to give me money to go there. Needless to say the western chapter of 130 Linden is going to be a bit larger come June.

Hawai'i is fantastic, and I apologize for being so out of touch, but I stay pretty busy out here. I wish I could describe what is going on but I think that would probably take me all night. So I'll try to post some pictures to give you an idea of what's happening. Here's one from my second week here.
