Four Play

Life’s been busy. When it comes to homework, I’ve been putting in a lot of overtime. Basically, I’m trying to get prepared for a mini-vacation my wife and I are taking this week. We’re flying out to visit my dad, who took a job in northern Arkansas last year. He’s been eager to get everyone out there to see where he lives, but Melanie and I have yet to do it. Now that Melanie’s off-track, we’ve got a few days to play. True, I’ve still got classes I should go to, but that’s never inspired me much. So I’ll skip a few days and let my dad fund a mini-vacation. Not too shabby of a deal. Not that I’m dying to find out what Arkansas is all about, but at least it’s hundreds of miles away from my “normal” life. I could use a break.

Because I don’t have much of interest to report, I’ll go ahead and post one of those surveys that typically get passed around via email. I’ve seen this same survey on a handful of other blogs, but my sister recently sent it to my email box. Rather than clutter other people’s inboxes, I’ll just post it here as a voluntary read. And I’m not “tagging” anybody to continue it. Do what you will. I’ll try to write something of greater interest once I’m back from AR.
