The Great State of Texas

Look what I found in the GSA Loan Closet. Its a cutting board in the shape of Texas! I was so excited to see this, I had to buy it. It cost $1. Sadly, its a bit warped and the shape of my great state isn't very conducive to cutting tomatoes or other juicy veggies. Nevertheless, I will make use of my new acquisition with pride, perhaps to slice lemons to go with my Shiner Hefeweizen, or some pepper jack cheese (my favorite) for some crackers. Who knows, the possibilities are endless...

Let me also give props to the wonderful ladies of the Faculty Women's Club who generously offer their time and energy to help the poor graduate students of Rice via the Loan Closet. Thanks.
