Have to do this -- got to get right with the Lord. Uh, my BF, who is out of the of the country right now and works at Brown is going to be in for a surprise, dontchaknow! He loves me and knows I'm, you know, a little serendipitous, but this is really pushing the relationship! Oh, Gawd! "Lucy, you have some 'splaining to do!" LOL!
Oh my...good luck with that! What part of the Armory?

You mean the same Alf who had that "hint of a hangover" this morning?

But I agree, there is nothing worse than overindulgence.

To his defense, perhaps he was celebrating a special occasion. Or just that his days in living up there with the bourgeois are finally coming to an end.

The excellent neighborhood association, lead by Carrie Lang has had no small part in making the neighborhood what it is today. I think you're making a great move!
I second all of this. Well, I don't know too much about what Kari Lang, et al have done with West Broadway Neighborhood Association... but I have heard they have been very active.

Kari (not Carrie, thanks for correction) has lead WBNA for many years. The organization's vision and tenacity account for its longevity and the neighborhood's incredible success.

Yeah, that's pretty much me. I knew M "Time To Make The Donuts" N would wet himself over this thread. Sort of sad, really.

Had a couple of shots of Patron last night and I'm not used to much hard alcohol, apart from the very occasional Stoli martini.

I'm doing the Armory because I have to get real with my life -- I just have it too easy. Maybe sounds crazy, but there it is. And if I hate it, I can move. Time to shake things up a bit.
