Day 50
First off, I would like to apologize for two things:
1. I have not been posting every day. My schedule was messed up by going to Florida, but hopefully now that I'm back at school (for just one more month!), I'll be better about it
2. Some of my posts suck. I've not been spending nearly as much time on them as I have in the past. Again, sorry.

It's more like comparing a well shaped club to the atomic bomb. That being said, the crepe wasn't terrible.
Why I Do Such Things
As the sameness of my work and environment closed in on my mind and soul, feeding the now formidable flames of my cynicism and disaffection, I knew something had to be done. Something life-changing.

I will hand deliver my emails for a day, pick up a hitch-hiker, get into a fight, and learn ballet. Hellen Keller says "Life is a daring adventure, or nothing." I plan to make it the former...

Remember what tasty and delicate crepes you used to make . . . YUM!
