Today after work DJ and I went out with some of his co-residents. A bunch of guys in blue scrubs all reaching for their pagers at the same time, talking nothing but oral surgery (e.g. wiring your jaw shut) for an entire 3 hour dinner. Not exactly my type of fun, but being the wife of a peon intern, I had to seem captivated.
You know things are really boring when you're excited that the conversation turns to ice fishing. (To be honest, I do want to try it some time. Maybe when I visit Mais up in AA). Evidently in Minnesota, people drag ice huts equipped with stoves, DirecTV, and lots of beer onto frozen lakes. There are so many huts on some lakes that the government plows lanes and puts up stop signs so there is some order to the snowmobile traffic. The midwest ain't so bad - it gave us Target, Eminem, Garrison Keillor, Motown. and ice fishing.

Pauline, you are SO ultimate coolness. P.S. That dooce site you mentioned is just wonderful. She's my new hero/stalkee. Where do you find stuff like that?
The midwest is actually a lot of fun. People are really down to earth. And I actually heard ice fishing is a ton of fun, but I think you'll have to to go Minnesota for it. I don't think we have it in Michigan.. at least not nearby.
