I've got a secret...

I actually like the Winter Olympics.

Like, a lot.

I don't like any one particular sport. I think what I really like about the winter games has a lot to do with the first ones I remember - the 1988 games in Calgary.

I think we had a very, very snowy winter that year, and as a result, I had lots of snow days. I remember it being the only thing on TV, and sitting in the family room, falling asleep to the sounds of the games while my mom watched.

Ever since then, I have always watched the winter games -- and ended up falling asleep during the late night broadcasts, feeling cozy, warm, and safe.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drift off to the dulcet tones of Bob Costas.

Desiccant...

Remember how I needed desiccant a couple years ago?

I ended up buying a dehumidifier. And then, just a little while ago, my friend Carrie (a regular reader of the Craigslist missed connections page) saw this and immediately sent me the link:

You had a very humid office... - w4m

You posted in here quite some time ago about your humid office and your hope that silica gel packets could remedy the situation.

I must say, I was quite impressed by your wit and, well, the fact you came up with a mathematical formula for the problem.

So, I was wondering if you got the problem taken care of? I'm sure you have, it's just that I really have nothing else to say. It's rather difficult to generate a conversation out of thin air, ya know?

Anyhow, just wanted to say I was intrigued by you. And if you should see this, feel free to respond and maybe we can get together for an evening of robbing shoe boxes.

What will come of this? I'll keep you posted.
