<--- couldn't see nor talk to anyone, really
<--- spilled red wine all over DH

<--- trying not to get depressed that no one there remembered <--- or came up to say hi (4 out of the 70 there out of 400 in the class came up and made like they remembered)
<--- is on to a new day, involving cardio and Constitutional Law
<--- says ICK on all that!!!
