Arizona is crazy! It's now *legal* for doctors to *lie* to women. When is it legal for doctors to lie to men? *Never*. Even if it's for their own good. Because men are trusted to make informed decisions about their own bodies, and women, women are (untrustworthy!) children.

I didn't know you minored in Cognitive Science! Seems like all my favorite people have studied it at one point or another.

Ah, yeah, I think that's it -- a way to separate the apartment so more people can sleep in privacy!

Thanks :)

Yeah, the coffee shops are good! I've started doing yoga every morning before I shower so that I'm warm for my shower too :)

Really? Weird, I didn't know! I guess it's good I did get them out before I got here. (Notoriously expensive even compared to everything else in Denmark?)

Yes, I plan on doing lots of mountain climbing here, so that should be risky :)

Re: Grow up and buy a briefcase

Hi Derek,

I'm not sure I agree with you, especially when you say "sometimes style has to be at the forefront". This was, for a long time, the argument for women to wear heels all day while waitressing or at the office, despite back and knee injury. Because cultural values have shifted to caring about health a little more, it is now acceptable for women to wear flats and more comfortable shoes (see Danksos, a clog that's become increasingly popular among those who spend all day on their feet like nurses, waitresses, etc.).

For first impressions (I'm assuming the euphemism is for interviews), sure, bring a briefcase. But for all the businessmen you see around Bellingham, who are going to their jobs everyday, working with people who are hopefully judging them based off their value to the company and not how they look, a more health-conscious choice seems to be the only one that makes sense.

Now, I think the laptop/backpack market needs to experience the same transformation the shoe industry went through, and come out with some more professionally-accepted bags that look good without wrecking people's backs. After all, wearing a suit makes one look good without compromising one's health.

well come on, the whole point of fireworks is to listen to them, right? the glowy clouds are just a side effect.
