well!

i got a response to that personal that was 1) coherent and grammatically correct, 2) interested, and 3) lacking in red flags other than "recently divorced", which is a flag but not an actual flaming one. did a web search on the guy's name (because hey, that's what you do these days, right?) and found that he's director of marketing for a web services company in the valley, so at least i know he's not an unemployed freakazoid. he says he just moved to pacifica and is looking for people to hang out with. he wanted to know if i'd like to get together later today.

so i figure, hey, what have i got to lose? i told him i could meet for coffee this afternoon or really early evening, but have an appointment at 7. otherwise i could meet up anytime this week.

i feel remarkably unstressed.

you learn something new every day

today, i learned about pykrete. (thanks to bc for the link.)

zadcat, if we ever do get round to those beers i owe you in Quebec City, we absolutely must drink a toast to the Habbakuk in the Chateau Frontenac.
