  I'm back at work today. Moving slowly, but here. Allergies are
  whoopin' my ass.
  
  Poly dinner last night was quiet & not very well-attended. I really
  have no clue when it comes to Indian food. I ordered something
  because it seemed like a thing I could pronounce, and it turned out
  to be a fried pancake thing with mashed potatoes & peas in it, and
  two fried doughnut things that were spicy rather than sweet, and 3
  cups of sauces/soups/dessert/I dunnowhatthehellitwas.
  
  The cool things about dinner last night were:
  
  1) Erin and Marca came with their wedding photos from SF--they
  heard/read about the mayor making gay marriage legal, so they flew
  out and stood in front of city hall for 2 days and got married.
  
  2) we had a visitor from Tempe, AZ who is thinking of moving to
  Austin. Even though we locals weren't impressed by the turnout, he
  was. He kinda put me on the spot re: am I poly, do I wanna be, bla
  bla, and I tried yet again to explain my feelings in general re:
  people & relationships, but apparently didn't do very well, got that
  pity/horror reaction I despise. Oh well.
