Sorry I disappeared. I just pulled an icuhere2.

I donated $10 for malaria nets via a UN charity (Nothing But Nets), which entitled me to two free tickets at an NBA game with availability.

I chose a good game and got solid seats. Said tickets, which cost me $19 with donation and various ticketmaster surcharges are now posted on a certain ticket reselling website where similar tickets are retailing for $120/seat.

I count four solid days with Houston below freezing. I don't know that such a thing has ever been seen in recorded history.

Keeping my fingers crossed that this forcast is off by two days. Please no snow on the 27 or 28. And if it does snow, please CO start cancelling flights early so I won't be stuck at work until the cows come home.

Testify brother, as a law student, there is nothing worse than knowing that your entire grade was based on one day's performance, and that you might know course content cold, but if you were ill, distracted, or the like, your whole grade could be blown up for no good reason. I alway found that risk allocation silly and stupid and lived in perpetual fear of it [until my last semester].
