Wuzup?

Well on Saturday canoed the Little Miami with the twentysomething group from my sister’s church. We were soposed to do the 8 mile streach but missed the landing and ended up doing 13 miles. All in all it was fun, mostly paddling and hardly any rappids.
Have been kinda working for a friend’s carpentry company. Spent part of a week painting, got a nice farmer’s tan and sunburned neck. Then did some tile for a church last week.
Have a maybe pretty good lead on a mod_perl job in Cincinnati. Will have to wait and see if the engineers like the resume.
Oh, and been trying to watch the 2nd season of Buffy on DVD 🙂

Border Story

Well since arcterex asked in some comments here is my border crossing story, this time. Really nothing much to mention. Some grey haired customs dude chated with me for a bit about living in Canada and why an American would be so crazy as to choose to live and work in Canada 🙂 The only “problem” was having to dig out the paper that said the car had been transfered back to the U.S., which as arcterex and firefly could attest was a feat unto itself. But that was it. Had more trouble getting hotel rooms given all the pre summer vacationers heading to Rushmore and Yellowstone.

I’m Back To Where I Started From

Well howdy ya’ll! I’m back in Kentucky. Arrived around 8pm EST last night. All is well. Will try to post more after I get caught up on email. BTW, using the library’s computer lab, no net connection at home for the time being.
