sock free in '08

even more important than the frost-free date is the sock-free date.  this year, mine was february 8.  oh yeah.  and today was my long-pants-free date.  unfortunately, it looks like socks might be re-appearing later this week, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that they won't. 

friday was apparently my lucky day.  i was wearing my lucky pants.  seriously, they are lucky brand.  and 2 lucky things happened.  i won a drawing at the DBG for a day off work with pay.  every day that you bike, walk, take the bus or carpool to work, they enter your name in a drawing for the day off or some movie tickets.  this is the first time i won.  (i also get a $10 target gift card every month i bike at least 5 times.)  then later on friday, i found out i had won a different drawing for $250 (not related to work).  i'm still a little skeptical about that one, at least until i get the check in the mail!  a while back i contacted the web of science people to have them correct my middle initial in an entry, and then they asked me to fill out a customer service survey, and at the end you could enter a drawing, which i did because what the heck.  even if i never, win i reduce the odds for everyone else!  but i won! 

i think i should wear lucky pants more often.  i offered them to tim for his job interview this week, but he declined.  something silly about they wouldn't fit?
