Good stuff

Thesis, I am happy to report, is chugging along nicely. Although I thought I'd be farther along at this point than I actually am, I feel better about it than ever. I have a topic which I have researched and analysed to produce outcomes. I know this because I had a proper conversation about it last Friday with a few people I hadn't met before.

That was Bike to Work Day, the best day ever. B and I were at the registration desk, signing people into the pancake breakfast. Being from Cow Pie, I am very wary of pancake breakfasts in other cities, but I was duly impressed. The pancakes were fluffy, instead of horrid reconstituted scrambled egg there was fruit and all the containers were compostable. The band (name forgotten, but they were kind of old country) was fantastic - what is better than live music outside at 8:00 on a sunny morning? Nothing.

Having to get up at 5:45 that morning stood as a good reason not to attend the Autumndude's next show, held the previous night. They had come back through town so we met two of them for a pub dinner instead. I couldn't face another night of badly pretending to be awake, so it was all for the best - especially when I found out later that the show went on until 4:30! Dinner was hilarious, especially when we talked about passport photos, always a conversational favourite, especially when someone has one to share, which someone did. Someone blond.
