On the way to work, I ran into a guy I sort of know. He’s an account manager at a firm that makes legal copies and he has a band called Pillowfight and they’re playing on Friday. Then, on the way home, I saw a woman who was in my bioinformatics class (and who had my co-worker’s mom on her thesis committee). Finally, at Fred Meyer’s (a local grocery chain owned by Kroger’s) I saw the old volunteer outreach coordinator from Cascade AIDS project.

Funny how I was trying to prevent something that diminished white blood cell counts and now I have too many white blood cells. OK, so it’s not so funny. Perhaps it’s ironic. I haven’t quite decided.
