So…….

I am still alive in RL and here as well.  So many things have happened since my last entry:

* I am now the proud father of a one year old baby boy, who is the joy of my life.  His name is Derek.  When asked about what it’s like to be a father, I simply reply, "When I look at him the world makes sense."

* I became a Buddhist (still having issues with vegetarianism).  I’m VERY happy with this decision.

* No thanks to Rick Perry, I still love being a teacher.  If that idiot becomes president, my family is moving to Australia…or maybe Canada….or perhaps Lichtenstein.

*  I am now having to take care of my parents to increasingly greater degrees.  This is not fun.

* I’m going to enjoy the Labor Day weekend, in spite of the worst drought in recorded history.
