NO TIME TO BLOG!

I have a very important date! Of sorts! One that no one but me knows about!

In a few short hours, former Oregon gubernatorial candidate, NCAA board memeber, UO president and all-around survivor Dave "The Frohn" Frohnmayer will be making an appearance at the Rayburn HOB (House Office Building, for the Hill-uninitiated) at some sort of alumni reception thing. The invitation arrived weeks ago, but not until yesterday did I look at it very closely and notice that an RSVP was requested by April 9.

I suppose the only thing to do is try to sneak in, by dressing appropriately and pretending I belong. If they give me any trouble, all I have to do is whip out my trusty student body ID card, which was made for a mere $5 replacement fee (one of several I paid over a half-decade in Eugene) on 10/29/01. If that fails, I'll try getting by as a member of the press. If that fails, well, there's nothing a little shoving match can't solve.

More forthcoming, assuming there is more to tell.

P.S. Also, today is 4/20. I hope at least some of you back in Oregon are enjoying the day in a way I really can't -- or rather, isn't worth it -- out here. If so, burn one down for me. This homie couldn't be there.
