sincere gratitude

been too busy getting used to the working man's 9-5 to say much lately...more on the new job later. higher priority: thanking the people who really rule.

special shout-outs to scott and shanna for letting us crash last-minute saturday night, your absence notwithstanding; i thought we'd be spending the night at cumby's, lamenting the snow; not actually having *fun* being stranded in a cozy apartment, having bamboo house takeout. you guys are outstanding.

brenton, for giving us a place to stash the car and a ride home with no more than a wink and a smile - incredible generosity.

and the downstairs neighbor at scott and shanna's, whatever your name was dude, for helping us push the car in high winds and blinding snow for more than half an hour, with nothing more than "don't worry about it."

everyone from friends to strangers schooled me this weekend about what altruism is all about. thank you all.
