Cincinnati

Cincinnati is charming. This may very well be because i'm a good ways away from the river-driven factories of Proctor and Gamble.

The people are warm and courteous; i feel like a loutish brute. This may have something to do with the way my hand keeps twitching to play with the Game Boy Advance. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance is pure crack. I can't even imagine how much worse it will be when Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles arrives.

It is quite, quite boring at night here. Mostly i'm just coding and reading, with occasional binges of Tactics to keep me up. I cheated and read some FAQs on the skills necessary to get some of the more unusual classes. I'm going to be a Ninja soon, people. A Ninja!

The cold is quite tolerable-- just short walks to and from buildings and cars. Now i remember how i survived Boston and Philly for those weekends. Training is good-- i'm learning tons, and can't wait to get back on the job and apply it like crazy.

Business travel agrees with me. I miss Shadowfist and prayer meeting, though.
