Where did October go? I'm not sure either. Though I do have some photo evidence of its existence...
I'm sitting in the Sam Adams Pub in the Manchester, NH planestation waiting to board a flight to Austin, TX via Detroit, MI. I'm drinking an insanely fresh Boston Lager, thinking about all the things I should be doing besides reading The Onion but not hard enough to do anything about it. So what's gone on in the past month? Exams for the beginning of October, a few trips to NYC to see Nikki, I met my first Nobel Laureate. Dr. Joe Murray came to visit Hanover from Boston for the Tanzer Conference the plastic surgery dept. holds every 2 years. He won the Medicine prize in 1990 for performing the first successful kidney transplant in 1954.
Anyway, this Texas trip is to check out Harrison's new digs and hoped for future restaurant location. He tells me the daily low temperature is somewhere in the 60's so it will be a nice last dodge from the winter before the snow comes and stays and stays and stays. This should be a fully immersive TEXAS experience, featuring cowboy hats, spurs, football, beer, and and ever so slight undercurrent of racial tension just to keep things interesting. Speaking of Texas and interesting and Chuck Norris

I plan to fully endorse Texas's right to secede and perhaps contribute to its eventual departure from the rest of the Union, this very weekend. Wish me luck
