I think we are still in Kansas, Toto.

Well that was largely uneventful. We had a little storm at my apartment yesterday which I hear tell had a hurricane connected to it. I had every intention of coming here today to relate a wonderfully hilarious story of my kite flying adventures. I spent all of $3 on a SpongeBob kite at Toys-R-Us and was ready to participate in the kite flying equivelant of fishing in Alaska: you pretty much just have to show up for it to work. That was my intention, but it didn’t end up happening. First of all, I slept through most of the storm. (I told you in was uneventful.) Second, my earlier calculations, while leaving room for cancelling due to lightning, had not taken into account the downward force of rain. Third, there was no where near my apartment that I could be assured of not hitting anything: no wide open spaces. Fourth, and last, I am absolutly certain that my $3 kite from Toys-R-Us was not designed with very high requirements and that simply blowing on it hard would bring about its ends. And I know that I said that was my last one, but also I was by myself it would have felt wierd to go kite flying by myself.

In other news, I baked cookies which people ate and enjoyed.

  1. After experiencing a raging storm during our sailing experience in the Florida Keys a few years ago with you (asleep through the entire event), I understand! Baking cookies during the hurricane sounds a lot better than flying a kite!
