Figure out who you are sitting next to before you start making snarky comments.

My alma mater has a new president and she's been touring the country meeting with alumnae. Last night, she was in Portland. After the initial chit chat and viewing of blueprints for the proposed college building developments, we sat down to hear the President speak.

I'm not going to say what snarky comment I said, but I will say it did somehow involve Wild Salmon (Yay! Eco-Trust). Anyway, after I made my semi-snarky comment (not about the President) they announced that the man on my left was indeed, the husband of the president. Ooops.

But I am not really that worried.

1) He looked a bit like Robert Redford. RR is always nice. (See: The Natural)


2) He is from Boston, and Boston is the capital of snark.

3) After hitting 3 states in 3 days, I think he was too exhausted to even notice me. (He did however, notice the crab cakes. Quite a few times, in fact.)


And no, I'm not going to tell you where I went to college, I don't have time...I'm meeting CamiKaos for lunch.

ha ha! That's what you get for public snarkiness!

I always imagine that people like me better when I'm snarky... but I think I am probably deluding myself.

See you in like... 2.5 hours

Snark is fun.

Sorta related somewhat on topic: I love that the Eco Trust building in Portland has a big parking lot.

Ah, foot-in-mouth, not as tasty as one might think.

Crab cakes do sound good.

Enjoy lunch.

bubbles: That's what I am going to call you from now on, k?

cami: God, I wish that tomorrow when I woke up, it would be today again. But perhaps with less lint.

aaron: I find it funny that you think the lot is big, I think it is tiny. But yes, snark is fun.

stu: Thank you. I think I can speak for Cami when I say: OMG, missburrows is awesome!

yes, let's start a club. the club of people who say funny stuff that pisses people off. only we could have a catchier name. like 'the foot-in-the-mouth gang'. no. wait. that's not cool at all.
