Third Gear.. hang on tight...

... yup, that' s my life. I'm making a concerted effort to slow down -- I even learned how to say "no" the other day! ... That lasted until I was asked to do the Christmas Pageant again. (I'm such a sucker for those kids at church!) Seriously though -- I put together my extracurricular activity resume for my DAR chapter and got tired!

Class was long last night. Even though it was all about laws and regulations (and excitingly-dweeby stuff like that), it was just plain long. I'll blame it on my table full of distractions (I still love you guys!), and a few recent bombs.

In case you didn't know, a good friend of mine is living in Amman right now, and I've been worried sick about him recently. The bombs going off over there on Wednesday didn't help. He's ok though, and his fairly quick email was an immense, yet brief relief. Guess this kinda strikes out going to visit for a while.

I had a nice talk with my "big brother" last night.... still tons of things to be talked about, and a ton of questions (I'm keeping a list!), but it was still nice to chat. I hope we get to catch up soon!

Speaking of Big Brothers, Dawson emailed me yesterday! His son is three months old! There's a little Dawson running around. That's kinda scary. I'm really happy for him and Heather!

Adding to my list of things to do: Valley Forge memorial on Sunday, Hopkins class mon/Thurs next week, DHS document comment acceptance and incorporation. And getting a lot of coffee...

To keep you stealth readers entertained -- a collection of the best pictures of me and Darrin... :)

Happy Veterans Day!
