New Rule For The Day:

No More Bitching About The French Guy.

Because (1) it’s done and (2) no one looks good in bitter and (3) what would I really have wanted to do differently here? Nothing I can think of. Which is why – as you long time listeners who met this blog way back at the beginning of the week may be wondering – the name changed. I don’t really think I Shoulda Gone to Laos, catchy as that was. Feeling lost and shitty is the price one occasionally pays for jumping on Miscellaneous Adventures. And though I wish the French Guy had not advocated and then retracted this particular Miscellaneous Adventure, there lies the risk of Miscellany. And Miscellany is Grand.

So No More Bitching About the French Guy. Starting as soon as this paragraph ends. Because can I just say one more thing? He sucks.

Anyway. I spent the day with Kira and her ten month old Aerin, who lived in a little fiberglass box in the hospital when I last saw her. Now Aerin is a giant fifteen pound baby with big blue eyes who eats carrots and has a very mischievous laugh. I attribute the laugh to her mischievousness which I attribute to her mom. Her mom, sweet and southern and motherly as she may now seem, once rode a bus to New Jersey with me when we were eighteen to get tattoos.

Now, however, Kira lives in Richmond with Aerin and Andrew and their two dogs. What I know of Richmond so far is Malls and Humidity. So for a girl from Eugene, it’s kind of like another country after all.

Virginia! I'm suddenly wistful for sticky broiling mornings and daily thunderstorms. Northern Virginia is a lot like Richmond, except it's Malls, Humidity, and Assholes. Lots of Assholes.

Enjoy your time in my homeland.
