Speaking of David...

David talks about his run in with Neil Boortz when we were in high school so many years ago.

David does not mention that:

a) it was AP European history
b) we were watching a video (Kenneth Clark's 'Civilisation')
c) we and many others were asleep
d) I bet David a penny that year that he would not read an entire book of 1000+ pages that we didn't have to read. He swore he would. I won the penny easily.
e) D has nothing to do with the story other than me winning a bet.
f) we both did incredibly well on our AP exams, despite Neil Boortz and his attempts at ruining David's life. And despite sleeping a lot in that class.

Blogroll note

Just wanted to mention that my old pal David Smith is escaping us Yanks yet again and headed to Norway, where he spent a few months already in 2005. This time, he has not purchased a return ticket and hopes to remain.

David's blog is there to the right, titled Blog Norway. Please do keep up with him.

I say this not only because he is my friend, but also because I have a great deal of admiration for his writings: if you read one travel blog, make it Smity D's. I promise he won't disappoint (unless he stops posting).

David: Be safe, but have fun. I hope it turns into a book!

Send that Master's Thesis along!
