in which Gerald goes to his first and last AMS meeting.

about 2/3rds of the way through last night's AMS meeting, I wrote Chris Payne a note:

Dear Chris,
if I ever volunteer to proxy at an AMS meeting again, hit me with a 2x4*.

Gerald
*if a 2x4 is unavailable, a weapon may be chosen at your discretion.

I don't think he understood that I was serious.
