The meeting tonight ended up being Kartik, Shirley and me eating Klondike ice cream sandwiches at Shirley's house and talking until about 1am. Topics we touched on:

• Howard Dean.
• The economy.
• Disillusionment/disappointment with Japan.
• Shirley's plans.
• Julie in general.
• Trade schools.

What I have in common with Simon Cozens: teaching English to little kids in an East Asian country.
