Holy Locomotive, Batman!

Actually, this has nothing to do with trains, or Batman for that matter. But you, being the uber-intelligent person you are already knew that. Sheesh, I can't fool you for a second. I just realized that it's been a month...no more than that....since I last posted anything. My posting always slows when I go home, I don't like being tucked away in a cave...that an there are people around. I hate the feeling that someone is looking over my shoulder when I type. Enough excuses.

I figured it might be nice to catch all two of you up on what's been going on around the coop since May. For starters, I'm home for the summer (and by that I mean the house where my parent's live that I used to live in before I went off to join the Hokie cheering section). Coming home is always an adventure: returning to my room to see what mess might be left for me to pick up. Finding a place for the stuff I brought home with me, acquainting myself with any new animals (this time is was hermit crabs)....And, of course there is always the first Sunday back. I have to prep myself for Sunday mornings. The percentage of people at church that I actually know keeps shrinking, so among all the new people there are to meet, I also have to run through the same questions over and over with all the people I do know: "how long are you back?" "How is school going?" "How much longer do you have?" and the like.

I got a job for the summer, I start tomorrow. I'm working at Target. I also got a vehicle, one of my other goals for the summer. To be specific, I got a truck. A little '96 Ford, just big enough to be called a truck, but it's manual so that counts for some cool points. I'm working on a name for it, I'm thinking George might be a good fit, but I haven't really defined it's personality as of yet. I love my truck. I really do. I may have to go for a drive today.
