Estate Sale in Oakland Place
There was this little red diary. Sadly it was only 2 pages or I would have bought it. I love other people's diaries.

There were some nice yearbook photos with stories on them. The grey cardboard portrait books folded open and one the left side was a letter to the person they gave the card to and on the right was the portrait. Kind of like a greeting card with a picture of yourself that you could give out to your friends.

I offered the saleswoman $10 for 10 of them. She told me, "Those people went to Dartmouth. The pictures are worth at least $10 each." I said, "ok forget it then," while thinking, "does she really believe everything Dartmouth related is worth something?" As I was leaving she tried $40 for all 10. I left.

I should have just taken pictures of the letters looking back on it. She thought I wanted them to resell but I just wanted the stories and would have probably thrown them out post digitalization.

Oops, he is actually CRW.

Va! Va! Va! Voom.
(What the hell is that?!)

There is someone in Dartmouth though (incidentally with the initials CSW) whose research completely fascinates. I literally wait with bated breath for each new publication from his group. :::link:::

Hahahah... those two made me laugh.


I bet the dartmouth-obsessed woman didn't get even $1 for each in the end. Just because there are no other spotting-and-loving-the-ridiculous-pauls around. ;-)

I got tickets and a booked a hotel room only 750 meters away so that I can stumble on back if necessary.

Episcopal Diocese
Seems like they aren't doing so well. The bischop and diocese office is for sale on Deleware. Wonder what that means for the church next door?

I think it means it is time for Matthew to start measuring drapes.

The last giant pumpkin...

Back to 150lbs
Category: body
I quit the gym back in August and since then I lost the 15 lbs I had gained over two years. I guess I was really meant to be 150. Here is the the blog where I had just crossed 150lbs (e:paul,45837) going the other way. And here is where I was at the weight I want to be but can't dedicate myself to maintaining (e:paul,51035)

Well here we are 3 years later and I still don't go to the gym but I am 160 now. I thank probiotics for fixing my intestines.

I really am wanting to join the gym again. Maybe I wont pay down my credit card and will just offer them cash if they let me join at our old rate.

68% of the US population would be glad to trade places with you.

My bathroom floor looks exactly the same. For a while there, I tried to scrub out the black outline of the hexagonal tiles, but I have given up now.
