Happy April 21, two months and four weeks later Well I shouldn't be updating today since it is a holiday (Her Majesty the Queen's Birthday...this joint is closed up) but we've had a storm move in right now so I'm inside uploading pictures. Giddy-yup. Compare the water from Sunday (last) night (blue sky) to a few days ago when Arlene came by (gray sky).

Friday afternoon I heard back from my interview-ish with the government. I will be working here through August as a Student-Assistant with the Department of Emergency Management /National Hurricane Committee down here. I'll start sometime this week, but no idea what I will be doing. They will be paying me, which is nice; who says college doesn't pay off? And...they gave Dude a beeper, but I told them that if a hurricane comes during a league game that, well...

Anyways other than that not much is new. Just reading (Cry, The Beloved Country is a much better book when English teachers don't force you to read it...which I didn't do anyways, I watched the movie with a girl), writing, eating, and playing progressive rummy or dominoes at night. It's been nice, but I guess work will start soon. I have to get back in that zone.


Some of you have expressed interest in coming down here. And leave the beautiful Metroplex? Cater, come on, look around. You have beautiful...concrete...and boarded up gas stations...and bigger & bigger SUV's and fast food joints, as well as all the joys of suburbia that include...well, Kohls! You guys have plenty of Kohls! The closest Kohls here is prob. Miami. So consider yourselves the lucky ones. I'm going to go back outside now.

Hey so my cousin, Kevin, just called from France...that's cool. Forget all the above guys...just leave. Pack it up and leave right now. We're young. We're not supposed to be setting roots.
