ok, David, I will bite because it's Monday morning, I have a full day of two toddlers ahead of me, and I can't drink so I'll take any diversion I can get. Have at it.

My favorite of that period though is that one night, late, I was at your door in Donner and I heard you on the phone so I waited for you to be done and then I knocked and you screamed "WHAT" from inside. I almost ran away. I think you were tired.
