In the interest of full disclosure, I should probably mention that I’ve had a couple of beers tonight. Generally, though, I’m a happy drunk, and an overly chatty drunk too. So when I’m feeling not so happy after a couple of beers, I know I’m really not so happy.

I got up early to go to a biannual ham radio swap meet about an hour and a half south of here. It was incredibly empty this year and there was nothing I wanted to buy. One of the main reasons we go is to talk to old friends, and we did get to do that. But there even seemed to be fewer people in general. I think it might be because of the fairly dense fog on the way.

On the way back we hit Harbor Freight and they had no electric snakes. I was wandering around and Greg asked if I had taken too much lithium, because I was walking around going, “Oh, look a left-handed blooble. Eh.” I mean, how thrilled can you get about cheap Chinese tools?

In the evening I was invited to the Portland State University vs. North Arizona University football game, but it wasn’t a football game. It was a football practice where a college team played a high school team. My team was winning, but it was so one-sided that Portland State put out the second- and third-string. The final score was 45 to 0, Portland State.

And finally, one of the guys in my peer group (dateless pathetic guys) has been “not dating” a woman since early this summer. We thought she was imaginary and it turns out that not-dating takes a lot of time whether she’s imaginary or not. Well, I finally met her today and she’s very attractive, but also looks kind of mean. I really could get over my jealousy and be happy for the guy except for the mean thing.

OK, I’m going to sleep now and maybe I’ll be happier in the morning.
