Happy Birthday, arisbe and intertext!
Monday December 31, 2012 New Year's Eve

Moving to a new neighborhood means relearning travel habits. In my case, becoming familiar with new regular bus routes. Plus knowing when the most convenient light rail stop is less convenient because there's a Vikings game (American football.)

Getting to the Mnstf New Years Eve party at Richard Tatge and Sharon Kahn's was easy but tedious. Easy: the #3 and #18 buses both run frequently. Tedious: the #18 runs on Nicollet Avenue, which goes through Downtown Minneapolis. On New Year's Eve, Downtown is congested.

Partial compensation: I'm near the University of Minnesota's Minneapolis campus, and students ride the #3. Some female students wear skirts or near-skirts shorter than 1960s miniskirts, and have the figures for it. (Unlike the 1960s, they also wear tights or some equivalent. Sometimes people do get smarter over the decades.)

It was a good party. (Quieter than what many people would consider necessary to a party.)
