The Thing That

Anna, this one's for you. I was searching for classified ads for New London, NH to start my job hunt and stumbled upon:

David Dow your dad want's to hear from you

What's the story??

We hosted a Seder last night and I guess it was a success because I woke up hungover and didn't roll into work until noon. I owe a lot of people emails and will try and respond but in the meantime: Shamus, thanks heaps for the awesome Steely Dan mix; Shiv, we'll figure out the arrangements somehow; Leni, ditto.

Live Free or Die, baby! I got a few months to learn the official State Song:

Old New Hampshire
With a skill that knows no measure,
From the golden store of Fate
God, in His great love and wisdom,
Made the rugged Granite State;
Made the lakes, the fields, the forests;
Made the Rivers and the rills;
Made the bubbling, crystal fountains
Of New Hampshire's Granite Hills

Refrain:
Old New Hampshire,
Old New Hampshire
Old New Hampshire Grand and Great
We will sing of Old New Hampshire,
Of the dear old Granite State

Builded he New Hampshire glorious
From the borders to the sea;
And with matchless charm and splendor
Blessed her for eternity.
Hers, the majesty of mountain;
Hers, the grandeur of the lake;
Hers, the truth as from the hillside
Whence her crystal waters break

Refrain:
Old New Hampshire,
Old New Hampshire
Old New Hampshire Grand and Great
We will sing of Old New Hampshire,
Of the dear old Granite State
