"Appalachian Valley Drive"
by Spencer Ross
07/25/03
It's been a week since I saw you last
How about a cup of coffee
As we travel down the highway
We haven't gone anywhere
But we've seen the whole country together
The borders, the oceans, and deserts
It's been a week since I saw you last
And mountains moved, hearts trembled
The 24 hour diner closed for the first time
We took a road trip together
Pulled out a map and
Tried tracing the routes, like our bodies, with our index fingers
Mine soft but warm, yours delicate and smooth
Exit 35A takes me to the middle of nowhere
35B takes me back to you
It's been a week since I saw you last
Gas station riffraff smashes a cigarette butt
It's the only station you like to use on our drive
Music plays on the radio, filling the void of silence
I know you're there, you're only sleeping
My foot on the pedal, warm whisper of your breath
Didn't want a back-seat driver, didn't want to drive this road alone
And not wait another week until I saw you next

Google Finance
I've become a big advocate of Google. I think they truly have managed to break the hold of Microsoft and if anything, have also demonstrated the sheer power of the cliched Web 2.0. This finance site is no small potatoes either. The graphs are so simple yet so lush in data, and the rest of the pages are no different. Perhaps the most appealing feature is the portfolio which, with a Google account, lets you enter in how many shares of a stock you own and track all of its vitals in one page. I entered in my 401k breakdown and at any given time, it lets me visualise my account better than my 401k planner does.
Gastroenteritis
The stomach flu got me at the end of the year, making for the worst sickness I've felt in probably 10-15 years. Every hour, I was either on or over the toilet and at times, had to keep a bag next to the bed for those times I couldn't make it to the toilet fast enough. From what I've heard, I wasn't the only one to catch this horrible disaster in the past 2-3 weeks. I was supposed to go to Andrew's for the opening of the 7 year old time capsule and video but the stomach flu sidelined my plans (I'm finally at about 85% recovery) and for that, you are the asshole of the week.
