Today was fun. I got to go on a date with Rebecca, as her parents graciously agreed to watch Melanie. So we went out to Mario's Pizza in Berryville, where I enjoyed a nice spinach calzone -- it was too big for me to eat, in fact. Before that, there was a little visit to my parents, where I hung out with Mom, my sister, my brother, and Melanie. I have a few pictures of Melanie to give to my mom.

At dinner, Rebecca and I talked a bit about the web message boards I frequent. There's a lot of really angry people on there and I sometimes feel out of place, simply because I am just not as angry. She seems to come across the same thing on the mailing lists she is on.

There is plenty of injustice in this world, don't get me wrong. Maybe it might help if I limited the number of things I get angry about.

Well, I mailed off my stock certificates, and I put in a bid for the Missouri state championships. I need to call the woman at the MSHSAA and make sure my bid is officially in -- we will see what I get. I'll probably write 20 or so Missouri-formatted matches and see if people want to use them for conference championships, tournaments, or whatever. I'll probably write 20 or so tournament sets if people want to use them.
