Beer-Bike turned into beer-run this year, as rain made the track too wet to ride bikes safely. The GSA men's team actually placed second. Amazing.

As always, alumni returned to drink much and catch-up. It's weird how after a few beers, people you didn't really even know become your long-lost friends. I suppose that's a reasonably well-documented effect of alcohol. I ran into a girl who I hadn't seen in about five years; I got my records from Alexei, and I finally mostly beat this cold, which means I probably didn't have SARS.

It was nice to see the few people that I do count among my actual friends. Chris came back into town and as always, we went to go get dim sum. It looks to me like the hot dim sum spot might be shifting again; it had been Ocean Palace for the last couple of years, but this time it seemed a little less packed than it usually is. Time to start scouting out new spots...
