That was an unexpectedly nice way to spend an evening

I just spent the last three hours at a diner talking to a very cool and very interesting (and very cute for that matter) person I've been chatting online with on and off for a couple years now. We talked about a little of everything and had a great time (such that I didn't even realize three hours had passed until I did the math on the drive home). Yay for cool people who live nearby!

Now I need to get some sleep before I drive off to RI to look at bug. Anyone in Boston interested in possibly hanging out tomorrow afternoon, give me a call on my cell after 10am Monday.

I am helpless in the face of shinies

MINE!

More to come when I've calmed down a bit.

EDIT: more pics added, with detailed comments and notes.
