"I mailed off your "Rolling Stone" magazine (well, it will go out in tomorrow's mail). I also put in an envelope with $5. It's not much but maybe you can buy a coffee, do a load of laundry, etc."
~ My Mom
Dear Mom,
Although I make my own coffee and do my laundry by hand, I am in no way in any sort of financial crisis. It is just the way I run my life. Thank you for being concerned. I appreciate it. :)

This is a picture of the last LAN. My expression in the picture just about sums up how I feel about the activity. I don't hate it, I just like everything about it except for the actual video game playing.
I am really busy with readings and homework this evening so I thought now would be a good a time as any to post the 'Guidelines for the Contemporary Gentleman' list I have been working on. If anyone has any suggestions (and I know there will be some), please post them in the comment section.
Guidelines For the Contemporary Gentleman
1. Adopt and consider the virtues set forth by Benjamin Franklin.
2. Be trained in classical piano as well as one other instrument.
3. Be fluent in at least two languages.
4. Own a suite for every occasion.
5. Throw an annual dinner party. (Cooking the food, making the drinks, supplying a nice and clean abode.
6. Treat all with equal respect (especially the elderly, the young, and the stupid).
7. Keep in peak physical condition.
8. Be well traveled (at least 3 continents and 8 countries).
9. Have a general knowledge of the literary canon.
10. Own a fish tank.
I would also like to add the disclaimer that I am not, at the moment, a contemporary gentleman. However, it is something to work towards.
Speak easy,
Neil
