Lasagne
I just made and ate some Lasagne� it was incredibly good. It�s also the first beef I�ve had in a home-cooked meal since the holidays. I�m pretty sure that it�s all right to die early if I can always be this well satisfied. Like that one commercial on the radio says, if you�re going to be healthy by eating tofu, maybe you�ll live another ten years, but you�ll just have to eat tofu for another ten years. Of course, I�m young now and not exactly totally aware of my mortality despite numerous close calls, so maybe when my clogged arteries are the thing threatening my life, I�ll have a different opinion. But hopefully, I won�t, because I will be able to reflect on a life well lived.
Now, I suppose it is time to go and live that life worth looking back on. First on the itinerary is travel tomorrow evening to Portland, Oregon, for the 2004 FIRST Robotics Competition Pacific Northwest Regional Competition. It is the first regional this year, so we will be setting the bar for all the other regionals. And if everything goes well, the TRC will finally bring home a well-deserved championship trophy and gold metals.
