Sounds great!

Sounds yummy ('cept soy-based would've been better for me :-)

Yum, indeed.

Feels great to be so loved, huh?

Well, this weekend, we're going to sign up for ZipCar and then our
experiment in carlessness will begin.

Tonight, I'm planning on attending the Critical Mass.  It says in the
forecast that it'll get down to 41F by 8PM.  I hope to be back by then.
At least, there won't be any precipitation.  My bike still has this funny
clicking when I pedal and I can't figure it out.  I cleaned my chain last
week; that didn't help.  I cleaned the derailer mechanism last week, too,
but it didn't help.  I lubricated the chain yesterday; we'll see if that
helps today.  I think my bike is just getting old -- it's 12 years old.
But, still being unemployed, I don't want to spend money to replace it
just yet.

I'm still looking for a job, but, amazingly, there are fewer and fewer
jobs.  But, my personal computer project had a big breakthrough yesterday
-- I finally got the speech recognition system to correctly recognize an
entire sentence.  I'm psyched.  There are lots of things we (a small team
on the internet) can do now.

Getting to my parents's home in  is going to be much trickier w/o a car.
And, during Thanksgiving (Day of Mourning (did I tell you that my mom
found out she has Native American blood in her?  I guess I'm, like, 3%
Native American or something)), if I have to bring my own food (as I
usually do), it'll be just that much more complex.  (Bringing bags of food
on public transit can be a drag.)  On the other hand, my mother said that
if both of my sisters don't show up, we could just go out to a restaurant
instead.  That would be convenient.

See ya!
