Miss Me? Yes, I know I haven't posted in ages.  Apologies to everyone who began feeling their lives caving in from my absence.  It happens.  But I live and this site does, too. Actually, what happens are the problems my computers have thrown my way lately and that have made posting to this site a chore that I just haven't had time for.  But I'll throw out a few quick hits right now to get everyone caught up (myself included): Iowa:  It was great.  Spent a week in the tensy bit of central Iowa called Grinnell.  Marcela and her friends made me feel right at home in their little corner of the dorm, never making me feel for a moment that I was some outsider invading their college lives.  Only disappointment:  didn't go to the truck stop.  Next time, maybe.  Did get to see anti-abortion activists and their butcher shop photos.  That was a nice surprise after lunch. The new Pope:  From Germany.  Ha.  Oh, the ironies.  But now that they've picked one, can we get off the 24 hour Vatican coverage?  Sorry, but there are more important things going on in the world.  Speaking of which... Paris and Nicole:  Who gives a rat's ass if they're friends or not? Coaching:  For those out of the loop, one of the items sucking the most time out of my precious allotment each day has been my coaching duties.  I'm one of the two coaches for the girls soccer team at my high school.  So every afternoon and weekend gets taken up by that, and will continue to do so until the third week of May when the end of season tournament rolls around.  Can't wait. Chinese food:  I'm trying to learn to make it on my own.  It's going about as well as you'd imagine.  Probably worse. Currently reading:  Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow.  Great read if you have an interest in how the United States got started.  Is over 800 pages, though.  Also reading One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for my first period class, but that's work.  8:38:54 PM     |
