Last Night I Had the Strangest Dream
(14-23 October 2001)
23 October 2001
-Tuesdays are much better under my "revised" schedule.
-Worry & over-thought are such elusive enemies. At least they sometimes
vanish as inexplicably as they arrive.
-Too... much... RBI baseball!
-JFact returns... & so many on our team don't know who he is!
22 October 2001
-I'm beginning to feel neglectful of this page. I guess it's just the
fact that so many Introspective feelings & thoughts now have a new outlet.
Maybe I feel a little redundant.
21 October 2001
-Good news on a bad day is weird to take. Phenomenal news on an awful
day doubly so.
-Just want to curl up in a ball & hide from everything for a while.
-Damn Yankees.

[from Poughkeepsie, New York]
-Hanging out with so many great debate kids from different parts of my past
& future is a great time.
-Being announced first for the break is so much better than last.
-Drew is rapidly becoming the Man.
-JUSTICE!

[from Poughkeepsie, New York]
-Vassar's campus is nicer than expected. I guess schools in the middle
of nowhere really have to be.
-Take back anything good I've ever said about Hecker. I hope never to
debate him again.
18 October 2001
-Worst lecture ending imaginable. But it's the weekend!
-Debating with Sirota's going to be fun.
-Good old poker night.
17 October 2001
-Brandzy & I had a great time, & he's even getting back into debate.
We gotta learn about hanging in Usdan, though...
-So I FINALly updated the APDA site. I'm not going to worry about
this for a while now. It's mighty early yet, but I'm holding my own in
some of the rankings. Bleh.
16 October 2001
-Waking up in that mental frame is both so good & so bad.
-FINALly back online! My network had been down for a goodly long while,
but now it's operational just when I need it most. Okay, not most, but
I'm really behind on a couple of onliney things.
15 October 2001
-Bad things about driving onto the George Washington Bridge on I-95 northbound
into NYC: traffic. I'm pretty sure I averaged 2 mph for 2 hours.
Yes, 4 miles in 2 hours. Also, the number of American flags on bumper
stickers is a bit overwhelming. Did people not realize where we lived
until we were bombed? Or until we started bombing back?
-Good things about driving onto the George Washington Bridge on I-95 northbound
into NYC: birds & sunrises. The combination of both several
flocks of what I discerned to be Canadian geese & the sun rising behind
the skyline was neat. Also, the still visible bottom crescent of moon
paired with a planet (Venus?) was a quality accent to said sky.
-Thank God the M's survived that scare. Now who will join us for ALCS
fun?
-I should not be this tired.
-Some days are rocks. Or at least end up feeling that way by comparison.

[from Princeton, New Jersey]
-I know I think too much. Thinking I know too much would be so much easier.
-Why does one of my laziest days of the year feel like just about the most worthwhile?
Oh, that's right, now I remember.
-Earlier comments about riding with the Princeton team? Ditto & double
for going to a team meeting! But it's actually a really friendly environment...
-A weekend this good deserves continuation. What better do I have to be
doing?
