"What is your greatest strength?"

Okay friends, I just want to let you know that from now on, I am conducting all phone calls Jack Bauer-style. That means I will answer my phone with "Gorman," say "dammit" at least three times, and end the conversation without saying "bye" or "later." I'm just putting out this warning to avoid the inevitable second phone call that will start with you saying, "what the hell Box, are you mad at me?" No, I'm not mad. And if you asked that question to Jack, he would break your arm. I'm not quite as ruthless.

In other news, I read an article today in the Troy Times about JamFests. For those who don't remember, those were the drug-free hooplas we went to in middle school (or early high school) at the Aquatic Center on Friday nights. I used to go there with Keith all the time. It's where I got my first taste of what it's like not talking to chicks. I now employ many of those same strategies at the bar every weekend.
