Not in the clamor of the crowded street, not in the shouts and plaudits of the throng, but in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.--Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

REDIRECT ALERT! (Scroll down past this mess if you're trying to read an archived post. Thanks. No, really, thanks.)

Due to my inability to control my temper and complacently accept continued silliness with not-quite-as-reliable-as-it-ought-to-be Blogger/Blogspot, your beloved Possumblog will now waddle across the Information Dirt Road and park its prehensile tail at http://possumblog.mu.nu.

This site will remain in place as a backup in case Munuvia gets hit by a bus or something, but I don't think they have as much trouble with this as some places do. ::cough::blogspot::cough:: So click here and adjust your links. I apologize for the inconvenience, but it's one of those things.

Lunch with My Friend Jeff was nice. (And I mean that in a very masculine way, so shut up.)

It's been a couple of months, so there was a lot of magazines to swap--he takes Car and Driver, I take Automobile and AutoWeek and we get together over lunch every so often and exchange papers and general chit-chat. We're getting to be like Statler and Waldorf on the Muppet Show, and our conversation has begun to take on a much more old fartish tone--kidney stones (his); GERD (his); mitral valve prolapse (his wife's); ugliness (mine); urinary incontinence (our kids'--to be our own one day); stupidity (everyone else's); Jeri Ryan (a girl walked into Wall Street Deli where we were eating and I told him it was Jeri Ryan who was still in town after going to theSidewalk Moving Picture Festival--he didn't believe me though); what's wrong with these kids today (everything, just like when we were kids); weed killer; lobsters; co-workers; my lack of a belt today; Franklinton, Louisiana; liberals; daycare; what the world needs is a Dodge Viper with a 528 CID Street Hemi; our sitcom.

You know, important stuff of the world.

That was a good lunch.
