I didn’t want to post this recording until after it had debuted on the Katie Mac Show, but in case you missed the announcement from an earlier entry, I’d like you all to know that the MOXIE HAS BEEN CONSUMED. I think it’s the Maine equivalent of drinking the kool-aid. Without, you know, the mass suicide and stuff.
The voices you’ll hear are the new friends who originally told me about moxie – the same ones who wanted to witness the consumption when I said I was actually intending to go buy some.
We talk a lot in school about the importance of “active tape” – i.e. tape where someone is actually doing something rather than just talking about it. This is active tape. My teachers would be appalled by the editing, AS AM I, but it was a quick and dirty job, done in Audacity, and…well…here you have it:

Tim from Urbana inquired as to the hand cream from the last post, so here’s the scoop.
It is the Herbalind Glycerin Hand Cream, and here is the link to the Merz website where they tell you all about it. I tried to find it in Maine, but Maine insists on being all “Hand Cream Made in Maine” and I am all “Hand Cream with Glycerin Made in Germany and Only Sold in Chicago at Great Expense.” Because once you go Hand Cream with Glycerin Made in Germany you really don’t go back.
The link provided is to the 6.8 ounce size, but that size might blow up a plane, so I settled for the smaller size that meets FAA requirements, ’cause I didn’t want to have to pull a Naomi Campbell on the x-ray people who would try to take it away in the security line.
Though wouldn’t that have made quite the cocktail party story for years to come.
