Just kidding. You’ll only get mono if you click the back button.
I’ve spent the past three weeks not doing a whole lot. I have been going to work, but I’m only logging five hours per day and I take naps when I get home. I’ve been drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of rest. In short, despite your wishes, you terrible person you, I have been taking care of myself.
Which brings us to now. Skorloff, for whom we are all very thankful for enlightening us with that mumbo-jumbo about wine and movies and bathrooms, mentioned that I’d be regaling you with stories of my “past present and future,” all without the commas. He’s right. I’ve been working on some stories about my past, cloaked in mystery as it is, but for right now, I’m here to tell you about my future (the present is oh so boring).
1. My last day at the firm was yesterday. I’ll be starting a clerkship with a judge that will last six weeks. The plan is that I’m to return to the firm after the clerkship, i.e., when school starts. Let’s hope everything pans out.
2. My roommate and I were hanging out at a bike shop for no reason whatsoever the other day and saw one of these:
It’s the Schwinn Sting-Ray. I decided I had to have it, but it wasn’t for sale. So, both of us resolved that we each have to buy one because they’re so freaking cool. I mean, look at that thing, it screams cool. And since I need as much help as I can get, I’m down with it. We’re scowering ebay for vintage (old) models from the late 60’s to late 70’s that are either in near-perfect shape or restorable shape. The tentative plan is to buy Sting-Rays for cheap, restore them as best we can with what limited skill we have, and sell them off. Failing that, we’ll just buy one for ourselves. If you know anyone looking to sell an old Sting-Ray (not a Sting-Ray Junior) drop me a line.
With that, I leave you to enjoy your July 4th weekend. Eat, drink, get sun, drink more, and don’t drive.

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/search/s_263562.html I'd like an old dinged up Sting-Ray myself. My Krate is too nice to bop around town on.

I'd like to say that I used to have one of these bikes when I was a young'un. However, I didn't. But I know a place in Washington that used to have them, 10 years ago, so, I got nothing.
