It's been a week since my last post, so I wanted to let the couple of friends that I have out there know that I am still kicking. Of course, those friends of mine have been very busy, and I have been paying close attention to their exploits, so they know I am still around.
School is taking alot of my time, but mostly I find that there are so many kindred spirits out there who are so much more talented than I am, that I am inclined to leave the political debate to them. Just plugging in to their genius recharges my batteries.
Spring is here in force, now. We had a very mild winter, but spring still is a welcome relief. Fishing season opened yesterday. Must get out there this year. Most importantly, the Red Sox open their regular season in Texas tomorrow. I have high hopes for this season, but there are alot of newcomers. You never know how a player will react to the atmosphere in Boston. They have certainly improved on paper defensively and ,though I expect their offensive numbers to be down significantly this season, their pitching should keep them in it. Toronto looks to compete in the division this season. The AL East will be tough again. I don't believe that the wildcard will come from the east. The World Champion White Sox still look like the team to beat.
Should be able to do some golfing soon. I really suck at it and I only get out a couple of times a year, but I enjoy it.
I am hoping to intern this summer in a rural area and spend the summer camping. Our family loves camping. The more backwoods, the better. I love to come home from work to dinner cooked over the open fire. Summers work out great with my wife being a teacher and me having to travel.
So, did you see the number of protestors that came out for the immigration legislation? How do we generate that kind of an antiwar protest? I think most of us are afraid that an organized protest would become some kind of hippie-fest that wouldn't be taken seriously. There has to be some way to bring pressure to bear on the warmongers. I haven't been able to figure out a way to be heard. Well, I'll just keep paying attention and bitching.
How long do you think we can fight a war with no clear exit strategy without implementing the draft? Do you think that eventually people will stop volunteering, or are the Bush corporate welfare strategies designed to produce a larger pool of people with few other alternatives? Pretty clever, in a "sometimes I wish there were a hell" kind of way. How does someone who deserves so little, have so much?
This is what happens when I neglect to post for a long period of time. I ramble nonsense. Trying to cover too much ground, too quickly. I know that my friends will forgive me, and will be happy just to know I have not landed in Guantonamo Bay. To all others, I offer my sincere apologies. Until next time, much love.

You are incredibly talented, but school has a way of draining enough energy away from what is truly important, family, friends and life. Blog when you can, we'll still be here.
The camping sounds great, there are beautiful places to camp here in the Northwest as well, and we plan on seeing as many of them as possible this summer. I'm kind of a city girl, but nature's good too (or so my husband keeps telling me).
Tell your wife thank you. She may not be teaching my kids, but she's teaching someone else’s and teachers don't hear often enough how much we appreciate the work they do. She's a better woman than I, every time I volunteer in the classroom those kids make me crazy! Just being a parent has taught me that teachers deserve combat pay and lots and lots of praise.
