Fat Tuesday

My brother Andrew likes to complain that my life is nothing but homework and videogames. He claims that I don't take advantage of the fact that I am actually in college and he was in a military academy. While the most notable parts of my life are dull to others, I find them more interesting to post about than the interactions you could find from any college student. Last night was special enough to mention and should put his notions to rest.

Today, my friend Lincoln Demaris moves to Seattle to start working at Microsoft. Last night, we sent him off proper by accompianying him to various downtown venues in the spirit of Fat Tuesday. Most places were full of people decorated with beads, and I think the public alcohol consumption ban was abolished just for that night: there were sidewalk Corona stands. However, I continue my position that a quiet place to sit and talk with friends is infinitely better than any crowded bar.
