Well, Brooke and I went to Hannibal yesterday for Tom Sawyer Days…yes, they have a festival about Tom Sawyer… They had some interesting stuff going on and it was gorgeous outside, so it was a good day overall…just really long… Regardless, we made it back here late last night and we’re checking out a new church this morning…hopefully I can play some drums sometime in the near future, eh? This afternoon, we’re gonna BBQ a bit and go down to Fair St. Louis…Switchfoot is performing tonight and then, of course, fireworks…
On a side-note, Friday went pretty well when I went to SLU to investigate professors to work for. Dr. Ariel does some fascinating stuff with turtles, so I will probably work for him, but I’m still meeting with another guy Tuesday morning. Now, the catch is that I can’t start work for another week (July 11th), which leaves me quite open for this week…therefore, I think Brooke and I are going down to New Orleans as a semi-honeymoon-type deal… We’ll probably leave Tuesday late-morning and come back on Saturday. We found a couple hotels within a block of the French Quarter, so this should be really cool (actually, quite warm, sadly…).
Oh yeah, apparently, some Japanese guy set a new record and memorized and recited 83,431digits of Pi…seriously, some people have way too much time on their hands for their own good…
dude, ….turtles…
so i dont think i’ve ever heard the words ‘turtles’ and ‘fascinating’ in the same sentence before. wow. you never cease to amaze me. happy being married. hi to brooke too. i miss you guys! come honeymoon in france. school just started up again for me today here, its so exciting!! ok, i guess i’m a dork too. …talk to you soon 🙂
oh, i was at the beach last week messin around playing a little guitar. just chords, cause you know how much i suck. and my friend make me try to play a song and then just laughed at how frightening it was… made me think of you and nathan. i love my friends here, but it just isnt the same without you guys making fun of me…
this one’s for your wife, cause her blog wouldnt let me post it and i already typed it all 🙂
hey! happy married-ness. sorry i couldnt be there, cant wait to see pictures… but reading some of your jokes reminded me of one my sister made up while visiting me a couple weeks ago. it seemed like your sense of humor (and since you havent heard any of the goofy things my sister has said in a while)…goes something like this.
It was a cold winter day, and three pig friends were all bundled up together. They go into a restaurant to get something to eat. The waiter comes over and one of the pigs asks ‘could we have some food?’ and the waiter says ‘No’. They ask why not, and he says ‘Cause we dont serve pigs in a blanket’
happy 4th. eat some BBQ for me.
