Message of the day: Bread tastes better with beer in it. 
 
I'm growing my requisite winter layer of fat in preparation for my  
hibernation period ahead.  I've been eating enough beef, bread, butter,  
and pasta to keep me on track.  I've been dutifully avoiding celery and  
other likely non-fattening foods. 
 
I went out Wednesday night with some happy people, celebrating that 
they're done with their oral exams.  That should be coming up in a couple 
of years for me.  I must say that I don't like drinking beer out of dinky 
mugs.  
 
Um, that's about it.
