Just a quick note ...

Wow! Today has been BUSY! I have 3 tests this week and tonight I had to guest lecture for a co-worker (her husband is in the hospital). Hence, no time for sharing my pithy insights today. I did, though, want to note a couple of things.

First, Andrew Samwick commented on the travel tips post. Okay, it was sort of a solicited comment in that I left him a comment noting that I had "borrowed" his travel tips for my blog. Still, Vox Baby -- someone whose blogging I admire -- left a comment. Cool. Okay, I already see a couple of disclaimers I need here. First, I do realize his "comment" essentially amounted to a great big -- hey, you idiot, here's how you do trackbacks. Second, Vol Abroad should not IN ANY WAY take my happiness about Vox Baby commenting as an insult. Of course I admire your blogging, Vol, it's just that I know you so it's not really the same thing. Plus, your Vols did humiliate my Rebs Saturday, so I'm a mite sore at you right now.

Next, I'm sure many of you were concerned -- Thailand Jeff is safely back in Thailand. I had an email from him saying he was back and busy cleaning his musty abode. Evidently there's some issue with dirty water; I don't know. More to the point, he made a comment about my musing on what would happen if I WERE to go to Thailand:

Oh, and regarding your blog about visiting Thailand. If you can make it, I can guarantee someone will try to show you his gun in a laundromat, in a bar, on the street, or on the beach - - and gun IS a euphemism.

Hmm, I guess it really is best that I NOT go visit. Also, I don't know why he won't leave these comments himself. Doesn't he know that I'm going to share such thoughts? Don't worry, Jeff, I'll use discretion -- to the extent that I recognize it.

Okay, I'm going home for the evening. I have to finish making out my stats test (DEAR LORD) and some supper might be good. Oh, please DO NOT email/call/smoke signal/... me about the Cardinals game tomorrow. I am going to be recording it, so I WILL NOT be aware of any results during the day. If any of you spoil the game for me; a pox on you and your house for all time!
