Handle With Care

First off, I'd like to introduce you (yes, you, my only reader) to a classic rock supergroup that formed in the late 1980's. It's called the Traveling Wilburys, and it is a supergroup because its members were George Harrison, Tom Petty, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, and Jon Lynne. It's too bad that they only made 2 albums since Orbison died about a year after they formed, but they made some good music. Here is their most famous song, Handle With Care:



Montreal: home to French Canadians, two-dollar coins, and intolerable cold. No, seriously, it was 8 degrees Fahrenheit on Friday. I was there attending the McGill University Model UN Conference which, honestly, could have been organized better. There were several ineptitudes which plagued the conference, the largest of which was the McParte. McParte was the typical Model UN conference delegate party, which takes place usually in a large nightclub in the host city. To make a long story short, the club was too small, many people were waiting outside in the cold, the bouncers were abusing some people, and the people who organized the entire thing were sitting in the VIP section of the club, likely sipping on their ales and smoking their cigars while their rotund stomachs jiggled with maniacal laughter. This was, however, just a blemish on the weekend.

I became friends with some great people, got to know some good friends even better than I had known them before, and hope to see everyone at the next conference in April. Who knows, maybe next time we'll actually get something done in committee.

That's all for now.
