back in action

It sure has been a long time since my last post, but here are some of the things I have been up to since I was last posting:

- attended my first wedding as an adult, where I delivered a best man speech for my brother. It was a nerve-racking experience until I gave the speech, whereupon the clock struck hammertime and it was on like donkey kong. The night went from having a dance off with my brother and dad to taking shots of tequila into the wee hours of the morning with my brother's (somewhat) alcoholic friends.

- a 13 hour drive home after the aforementioned night on the town. It hurt.

- training for CGs, which has been at varying times informative, extremely boring, and full of more hungover trials by fire.

- as a corralary: many, many college visits. I have seen over 16 colleges and universities in Virginia in the past few weeks. I think I will have a recap post once I am all done with the tours, to both jog my memory and enter the jone-dome because some of these places have been TRIFLING.

- seen what heretofore has been seemingly impossible: the Spanish National Football Team WIN an international tournament! What a moment that was! I think in the past 6 months I have expended most all of my good sports karma for the decade.

- recommitted myself to postings of note on this blog once again.
