Here's something that might be of interest to some occasional readers. The other day I had a little IM exchange the other day with blast-from-the-past Dylan, an old friend from Eugene who has more or less moved on out to other social networks. He was hitting me up from LA, where he'd been staying for a month on vacation with a special lady and (to quote, "ahem") her kid.

They met at Symantec in Springfield and had a little May to December -- or MILF, if you prefer -- romance, but then she was transferred to Santa Monica, prompting the visit. It sounded from the conversation that they'd be parting ways amicably, as Dylan hadn't taken to Los Angeles, and long-distance is for suckers. C'est la vie.

As someone who hopes everyone I know ends up happy, I'm glad to see the man sticking up for his own interests and not getting stuck in an uneven relationship. In the past, this has been an issue. So cheers to that.

And that's the Eugenian inner-circle news for the day.
