Ta-Dah!

This, heralded by brass trumpets and dusty white angels singing in unison some faint cantata, (also, heavenly light, thanks) is the new incarnation of the Wednesday Lunch Group blog. I started this blog before blogs were called blogs back in 2001 in Berkeley, California. There have been no postings since 2002 because my account was deleted by the university when I stopped working there. But oh boy, if only you could have access to THAT hilarity! HA! I started this blog way back then because I was working a really boring job at the University of California. I would sit at a desk in Stephens Hall and answer the phones for the Academic Senate office. Have you heard of the Academic Senate? No? No one else has either. So no one really called. In order to break up the monotony of no phone calls all day, I decided to take one of the classes that the human resources people were offering. I could leave my desk for like two hours a day and take a class in HTML. I don't remember a thing about HTML, but during the class were were supposed to create our own website. So, I created the official website of the Wednesday Lunch Group, replete with pictures and minutes from our weekly meetings. What was the Wednesday Lunch Group? It was a group. That had lunch. On Wednesdays. Anyway, here's my blog. Hello internet! Hello! can you hear me? I'm starting this blog mainly because everyone in the world has one and I feel a little left out and also because I'm leaving the country in February and I figured it would be easier to rattle on about myself once instead of having to individually e-mail all my friends about whatever fermented beverage a villager made me drink that day. So, here it is (heavenly singing ahhhhhhh) the new and improved Wednesday Lunch Group Blog. Enjoy.
