Close Call, Folks

Goodmorning all!

I had a close call this morning. My alarm didn't go off! I think it's time for a new one. I fortuitously looked up at 7:15, scrambled out of bed, threw on some respectable clothes, brushed my teeth so fast that the toothbrush Lorentz Contracted (much like a particular Limerick of Mike's), and met Mike at 7:19 in our hallway. We set out, only to be greeted by a beautiful day with crystal clear blue skies and a DUCK on Wriston! Yes. That's right, a duck. Check it out. A lady walked and did a rather perfect double take. She wasn't expecting a duck either.

At 7:30, we entered the Ratty to stay. Believe it or not, there was actually a line! Mike equated it to the line outside FishCo during Commencement week, though I reckon that this line, full of bleary eyed early risers, is a bit less exuberant than the one outside of FishCo.

Andrew and Wilson have joined us now. Andrew brought a few percent of the books in the Rock with him to write a paper for his econ class regarding the application of economic principles to Egyptian tourism industry. Wilson has a goatee.

Here We Go!

As Carl Weathers would say in one of those terrible new Bud Light commercials, Here We Go!

Max and I have secured our table, complete with "Reserved" sign and surge protector, and are settling in over some blueberry pancakes (a nice turn of fate) for a long day at the Refectory.

So come on by, see the New York Times crossword get solved, and snag a seat in the bright morning sun!

T- 12

Hey everyone, we've got about 12 hours till it all goes down. Max and I would like to let y'all know that instead of our typical "Origin" table, we're moving to (0,3) on the Ratty Coordinate system. That table has an outlet so we can remain entertained during the down hours during the adventure.

See you all tomorrow!

Game On!

We're doing it. This Monday, May 9, Max and Mike will spend the whole day from opening until closing at "The Origin," a table in the far back corner of that glorious establishment.

It's been a wild four years, and there was no better way that we could think of to celebrate all the braised beef tips, savory chicken stew, and perpetually missing salt and pepper shakers than a whole day of symbiosis with the Sharpe Refectory.

So come hang out, grab a meal with us, and see what's cookin'!
