"Oh, so THAT'S why he talks so much!!"

Today has been good.

I woke up early enough to see dew on my car (I don't even remember the last time I was up that early without having been awake through the night). Had some great conversation on a trip up to Live Oak with Mary. Grandparents, driving habits, snow birds, future plans. Good stuff.

Took a phonetics test on spectrograms. Basically I had to learn how to read this:

It says happy birthday. Didn't see it? Yeah, neither do I. But whatever. That test is over and I actually think I did ok on it.

Then I had lunch with Matt. Food and more good conversation. Blogs (Past and Present), Racism, life in general. All very good.

None of these conversations seem to last long enough, though. I think I just really enjoy getting to know people and their lives and their thoughts and their experiences. Someone to bounce ideas off of, to get ideas from, to learn from, to help them in their problems, to vent to, to allow them to vent, to help refine them and to refine yourself.

So it's been a good day. And the day's not over yet! (Huzzah's all around!) My day will include a nap, possibly some good reading, some good Asian cuisine with some awesome people, and who knows what else. More conversation? You bet. Will it be awesome? Undoubtedly.
