Into the 2009

this time it was better, there were still many unfamiliar faces, but the comfort from the ones i knew from yesteryear outweighed it all. it was a good start to '09, lots of laughter, relief in knowing that my pals remembered me, delight in mrs toh not loosening her warm cuddle she's had over 1a, a rather cranky geoff in place for mac, keeping my eyelids apart for most of the day. yes, it was indeed a goot start to the academic year. now to turn on mugger mode.
