On the Way to the Office...

First of all - so much for my previous plan of 'collecting bits throughout the day and posting it in the evening'. Looks like that didn't make it very far.

Anywhoozle. On my way into the office this morning, I stopped at Spunkin Honuts for an extra large coffee. Last night's trip to and from NYC was awesome, and xtingu 's show with the always festive KB and AB (both sans LJ) was awesome, but all that driving took it out of me. Needed the recharge in a big way.

Anyway, while I was there, I noted a kid standing beside his Mom's table. He was playing with a long and bendy dragon toy. His shirt said "Attack from Earth!" with terrified looking cutesy aliens running from the strange hu-mans coming from their ship. He was wearing Iron Man shoes. He had a bowl cut. I was, of course, instantly enamoured with the little guy and thinking "Ahhh... Future Nerds of America - unite!"

Got a good chuckle.

This weekend is a work weekend back in the Lehigh Valley. I'm headed up to help prep the property for my kid brother's wedding in October.

Now? Now I'm in... that place. Where I do that thing.
