Welcome to springing ahead during the winter

I picked up tckma on Saturday afternoon and we headed out to Albany for a house party. It was a small-scale affair but it was leisurely. I felt like I was throwing up a verbal defense wall a lot of the weekend, more because I was scared to be back in upstate New York than anything.

He and I are exceedingly grateful not to live in the Empire State anymore. As weird as life can be in eastern Mass, and lordie mortal and pestle it is, it lets smart people make good livings and feel in place. That's exceedingly valuable. That is why I want to own property here.

I still had a good time despite myself. fleurdelista is good people and I look forward to hanging out with tckma more often. I liked being able to talk out some of my cruftier theories about Quebec so that they get smashed.

When you study one topic long enough without talking to other people in that field, you develop warped theories. You have to talk to others to smash the bad ideas and find the true pieces in the shards. It's like a demolition derby of cogitation.

I'm off to bed, but... yeah, still glad to be home. G'night.
