Thanks to my climbing experience (knots) and my intimate knowledge of Trainspotting (this one part where Sick Boy is getting dressed), I now know how to properly tie a tie. Why, you ask, am I wearing a tie? Because it's just that kind of day...
Also, me, at the coffeeshop, trying to reach an outlet under an older gentleman's foot: Excuse me, sir, is it okay if I plug this in down here?
Older gentleman: ...Honey, no one's said that to me in a looooooong time.

Hey, silver lining. I might be back in the US and checking out the bay area that much sooner.
