Newsfrash: Sarah Attacked by Tree!

Oh her way home from work, Sarah was attached by a malicious tree near the Metro with a branch. "Branches don't kill people, trees kill people". Taking revenge for that extra print job she issued today, the tree was purported to shout "Down with the Red One!" (in a comical refence to Sarah's sunburn). "It was aiming for my shoulder, but I cleverly blocked it with my head!" Sarah reported. Her fast-thinking defensive action allowed her to successfully ward off her attacker and escape into the darkened subway.

So for dinner we tried a poor man's version of Sweet Red Pepper Rice, we substituted Orange juice concentrate for "grated orange zest", Crisco Vegetable Oil for "Pure Virgin Olive Oil", cilantro and paprika with air, onions with chives, and of course accompanying Roast Chicken with "an empty space in my stomach" (Sarah) -- it's probably a good thing that we've got a shopping expedition lined up for tomorrow. It was pretty good if a tad too spicy for my tastes.

I walked around the office building today giving out invitational letters to our first environment and energy" brown-bag" lunch. The reception was pretty positive; one group even suggested they might be able to provide a larger conference room. A few odd looks, but generally I think things went well. Ironically SELF's was the only letter that I couldn't deliver because nobody was in the office...
