Grumpy

Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2004 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

They should call it "allGoode Organic PuriTea with Peppermint, Red Clover, and Not Nearly Enough Licorice."

I've been sending some letters to soldiers via Books For Soldiers. Sample post: "My unit is deployed again. We have been on the road for the past three years and there are not many countries we havent been to over here. I hope that I can get some support for us. We are a group of 78 Marines. WE have access to DVD players, CD players, and a microwave. Dont have a lot of books or movies though."

I hope they enjoy my meanderings about public transit and my fish. Just bought some stamps, which didn't cheer me up as much as usual. Bah!
