I've been pretty busy with travels and so forth, so I haven't had time to post. I still don't have time really--but I will very soon. Here are some things I've been doing.
Celebrating Christmas with my family in Charlottesville. One of the best Christmases ever!
I bought a new car! Whoooohoo!
Went to Atlanta to see Widepread Panic on New Years Eve. Lots of drunk fratboys, but my God what a show!
I'm reading Don Quixote!
Getting psyched for a new round of grad-school applications!
More details, plus photos, in the next day or so.
Cheers and HAPPY NEW YEARS!

About Me
- IM
- I use this blog to write about my life primarily. I don't post regularly, but I try to get at least 2 posts in a month and sometimes more. I'm about to start a masters in history after 15 years as a catering chef. I like goals, even if I don't reach all of them.

Happy New Year! I think that's the first time I've ever seen an exclamation point after the words I'm reading Don Quixote....
It couldn't possibly have been one of the best Christmases ever, because I wasn't there :-)! Can't wait to discuss Don Quixote with you. Happy New Year! Love, Emily
Courtney, Happy New Year to you. Yea, I guess I got a little carried away with the !s. But I do like Don Quixote, although I'm only a quarter of the way in (p. 260--yikes!)
We missed you to be sure Emily, but we had a great time. I even went to church. Make sure you tell Bob. Happy New Year right back atcha.
So happy to see that you had posted today! Can't wait to hear/read what all you've been up to. Hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Hey Jeremy, thanks. Same to you. And I've enjoyed keeping up with your adventures on your blog.
