Still Around...

Just wanted to let everyone know that i wasn't dead.

In fact, far from it. i've just returned from the Moon, which should explain my prolonged absence.

An update? Well, tomorrow i'm going to New York City, NY, Boston, MA, and Bangor MN with my family for vacation. I've been to NYC several times before, but never Boston or Maine, so i'm pretty darned excited, if i may say so myself. Maybe i'll bring you back some lobster if you leave a nice comment.

After that, i'm moving to Raleigh for a year or so to take some pre-req science classes at Wake Tech, and then, Lord willing, i'll start a PA program at ECU next fall.

Oh, and wonder of wonders, i bought a cell phone. If you want the number, you'll have to email me, because i feel like writing my number on a blog is kind of like writing it on a bathroom wall.

How does it feel to be home after two years on the Moon? Well, honestly, the oddest thing is that it feels so normal. Seriously. i don't understand it. India seems like a dream; like something completely separated from my "real" life. The cars seem normal, the people seem normal, the food seems normal, the steps up from my basement seem normal: i just kind of fit right in. i don't know what that means.

Today, two of my very great friends Trent Cormier and Jean Hawthorne got married. Of course, now she's Jean Cormier. I don't know if anyone who reads my blog knows them except Ryan, but i just wanted everyone to know that they're married and i think that's just one of the best things that could have possibly happened today. Trent and Jean are stinkin' amazing, and i'm stinkin' glad they're married.

I think that's all. You can look forward to some upcoming blogs about The Media, China, and The Equator (hint: one of these new exciting blog options isn't real).

So does that mean I shouldn't have written your cell number on that bathroom wall? Anyways, I apologize in advance for any random calls you receive. It's been to good to have you back, look forward to seeing you in Raleighwood!

I remember Jean... weird... in fact just yesterday I was thinking that I should ask you how she was doing. Because I was kinda wondering if you were gonna marry her. No? Not really? Ummm.... so when are you making your way down to ATL?
