Soundtrack: "Come Undone", Duran Duran

I just noticed that there's a very tiny, very flat frog on one of the steps leading up to the second floor here.

It's the little things. For instance, why did I remember to bring my Jimi Hendrix cd, but forget to take my blue pills AND forget to bring more white pills this morning? Why do I remember the first time I saw Sev (circa 1992, at an SCA meeting, he was wearing a stylish gray hat and standing in the doorway of the USF classroom where the meeting was being held)? I didn't even speak to him...that was in my past life, when I was married to someone with agoraphobia (fear of rabbits with very soft fur). Yet I didn't remember giving Lisa some artwork which she used for the local SCA chapter's newsletter (also circa 1992), until, years later, I took over the office of chronicler and discovered it in the archives?

I don't remember being introduced to Jeff, but I do remember the first time I noticed him. A group of people were hanging out at Sev and Lisa's. He did a spot-impression of Mr. Burns from The Simpsons. He said, "Silverstar, eh? I'll remember that name!"

And when I first encountered Sid, she was literally hopping up and down and clapping her hands with unrestrained glee, planning Lisa's elevation party (more SCA stuff, all you need to know if you're not in the SCA is that being elevated is a big deal so it was going to have to be a way-cool party).

I wonder if I should drive home for lunch and take the blue pills...

This just in:Uncle Chuckie has returned. He is absolved of all his Chuck-a-Palooza antics, he brought me a bunch of Cleveland Browns stuff! He says my graphics were "the hit" of his IEEE workgroup meeting.

I remember talking you for the first time when you approached my work desk and asked "Are you in the SCA?" and for a split second I was scared - was she cool or was she just plain wierd? And it turns out you are the perfect combination of both! How cool is that?!
It's certainly reassuring! I remember answering all those calls that came into the art dept. for you... the fabric talk, the event talk...I think it only took me a couple of months to ask you if you would help me join the SCA for real. What a shy little bird I was back then.
Did you actually talk to me at that party? The only thing I really remember (at least in relation to the Burns quote) was JP asking me if I had anything original to say, or if all I could do was quote cartoons.

I don't think so. I just made a mental note, "That Godfrey fellow is funny for a such quiet guy!"
