holy cow, Brad. A month? One whole month?! I promised myself this wouldn't happen, but what do I know? Nothing, apparently. I apologize for my lack of postage, but it's not an apology to you the readers so much, but to myself. My writing skills must be deteriorating. I no longer have bright ideas on a whim. Not to say I really did before, but I was at least able to write somewhat fluently (look at all those modifiers; yuck!). It took me a very long time to write papers this semester and I think it's because I'm not used to organizing ideas right now. I'll work on it. The blog is back, in some form. You can bet on that.

I'm leaving for home today (yaayyyyyyaoiefijaweoifjwea!!!)! North Carolina, I've always been with you in my heart. Now I'll be with you in body and peace.

Merry Christmas everyone!
