He is called “Super Tonio,” and at a whopping birth weight of 14.5 pounds, the little fellow is causing a sensation in this Mexican resort city.

I woke up to a beautiful snowfall this morning—not the kind where the flakes dance their way down, but the kind with those big flakes that fall straight to the ground almost in a sheet—quickly and with purpose. Productive snowflakes. I like that.

We closed the meeting with a discussion of the sufficiency of the proposed contents of my design document to make the decisions they’re going to make with it. It’s all good.
In fact, he gave me two tidbits, we call them “rhetorical purposes” in “the biz,” of the document that I hadn’t considered. I made a note to bring them out during my oral defense of the project to the faculty at the end of the semester.

I got a spot in the back corner on the couch. I did a little S-L work there, specifically on the participants and meetings HTML files.
Trailer Park Prize Night was hosted by Jackie O’Knight, and she was pretty damn funny. Joe and I had to deal with two flies on a pile of… Hey, that would mean we were a pile of…
