I'm off to San Antonio, Texas, for my high school reunion!

Should be a blast!

I'm armed with a camera, so hopefully I'll get some great shots.

See everyone again on Monday.

Wow.

Humble apologies for my prolonged absences over the last four weeks. I, no kidding, have been out of town for probably two out of the last three days over the last month or so.

I've had various trips to Washington DC, Huntsville, Alabama, Charlotte, Myrtle Beach, and everywhere else. And the trips aren't over yet:

Hey darling, nice to hear you've been having awesome adventures!

I wish I could do some mad travelling this summer, but right now I'm pretty okay with chillin on the porch in the hammock drinking a Strongbow.

We got back from DC this afternoon, and, at last, I get a short respite before our next road trip, which is June 24-26 in Charlotte. Then it's off to the wife's family in Huntsville, Alabama for the annual July 4 reunion and San Antonio in the middle of July for my high school reunion. Plus I got to squeeze a trip to Fort Worth...

Wow, I'm getting really bad about updating.

Lots of stuff going on since my last post:

1. The house is going pretty well. Got some rooms painted (still a few more to go), the yard is getting into shape, although I got tons of weeds to pull still, but I'm happy overall with the progress. This is a big house--800 square feet bigger than our...

This whole Dave Chappelle thing is really odd. It's a shame too, because after watching a lot of the season 2 episodes of his show on DVD, I'm reminded how brilliant his sketch comedy really has been.

He's buckled under the expectations that, apparently, he has placed on himself for season 3. He realized how good this stuff has been, and kind of panicked that...

yea, there are a few poli sci types around here. my primary interest is actually in urban politics, and within that the political behavior of urban types (especially as it relates to the built environment). i've got my other exam in the fall, and start working on my proposal around october.

so, what do you work on? smile
signalnoise:
oy there - i forgot to say last time: the dave chapelle thing IS totally weird and sad. i've heard he's a real perfectionist, so he might be a bit *worried* about topping himself. i hope he comes back. frown

anyway, your work sounds really cool. sustainable development is interesting stuff - even to a lowly urbanist (smart growth comes to mind as a possible parallel). can i ask: what your methodological approach is?

Whew! Just about finished with the house. The boxes are unpacked, furniture is in the right place, miscellaneous crap is in the attic. Things are finally starting to come together. We're still waiting on a couple of things:

1. We've got a leaky hose connecting the washer to the water. In theory, the plumber is coming by today to take care of that (as well...

I'm still here...honest. Sorry about not updating in a while.

I've been working harder this week than, I swear, I have ever worked in my life. For those of you not keeping up on things, we're in the process of moving into a new house. I've forgotten how hard this is.

The first thing I did, last Monday and Tuesday, was paint the master bedroom...

Well, this picture from the BBC Website of some Pompey fans in West Brom shirts may feed the conspiracy:

thanks for the condolences. we had a good time (all things considered) talking about all of the fabulous things that she had done in her 99 years - what a story!

I like to read before I go to bed. As such, I usually keep a few books and/or magazines by the bed to read before lights out. On average, I probably read for an hour or so a night. So far so good.

What usually happens, however, is that my reading purchases seem to accumulate faster than my ability to read them in a timely...

Random thought day...will add as more things come to mind

********************
I finally watched the film Quills. Much better than I expected. Geoffrey Rush is a very good (and underappreciated) actor. Joaqin Phoenix also was top-notch in this, and well, what can you say about Kate Winslet. She's not afraid to get naked, that's for sure. What is that, like five movies she's 'taken...

I finally got the opportunity to meet, face to face, a few of the SGNC crowd.

On somewhat of a spontaneous whim, I drove up the highway a bit to kitschy's place for movie night. I also was finally able to put faces with nicknames with kriss, not_tom, RaleighBoy, Perla, and Ardilla.

It's about a 90 mile drive from...

Get e-baying! I picked up a Pompey shirt for 99p! Mental!

Sounds like you had a good time. The regional meets seem fun I've been to a mini one, but a proper one will come soon...

Hey darling... haven't talked to you in a while! I just wanted to say hello, I miss you!

Glad to hear you had a good time. I wish I could get in on that sushi fest, its my all time favorite.

Maybe I'll pop online one day and catch you there.


Til then, kiss
