Last night, Kim, the one-woman finance wonder, left us at the office. Her parting was indeed tragic, and I felt it exceedingly â€" as it is incredible to have someone who makes it her job to make everyone else's job easier. I'm praying she decides to come back. This of course, just had to come at the end of a week running against the clock of a not-so-happy nose [more specifically, a sinus infection and splitting sinus headache]. I have little to say, other than that antibiotics are still one of mankind's best inventions. And when walking places in blistering hot sun, I would recommend having a personal soundtrack of the Doves.
Other random stories: the lady at my favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant finally asked my name. I was so touched I almost hugged her, and then I remembered I am an American. Her name is Nelsin, and she seems quite contented that 'Mana Bo'ot' now has become 'Mana Salee'. I think this must be classified by some anthropologist somewhere as a right of passage. And if it isn't, then I need to file a complaint somewhere. Its damn cool.

I feel the same way about my local all-night cafe. The couple that run it have taken me under their wing. And the dad has finally stopped calling me Andy.
Makes you feel kinda like you could almost sorta maybe be at home here, doesn't it?
