Slacker!
Okay, I just now realized that over two weeks have gone by since I posted last. I did a little traveling, hosted some travelers, and have had a few exciting moments in the last couple weeks. So maybe I will follow up with a short post on what has been going on for anyone who might be interested, and to help ease my guilty conscience.
Last weekend I traveled to Billings to watch the State Wrestling Tournament with my parents. It's been awhile since the last time I was there, and so I didn't really know anyone who was wrestling, but I did get to see quite a few old, familiar faces that were there to watch as well. I still believe even more strongly today that wrestling is one of the best sports for young men.
Sunday night, Charlie drove in from Spokane and spent a couple of days with me. It was good to spend some time talking, eating, drinking, and smoking with him. We even went out to Petra and sat in on one of Sam's English classes (first time for me).
Monday night (while Charlie is still in town), I get a call from a college friend (Ronnie Isackson) who also was going to be in town and wanted to know if he could crash at my place for the night. Ronnie then had three interviews the following day with three of the engineering firms in town, including the one I work for. He also promptly received a job offer from my firm, which I hope I will soon hear he is taking.
I also got a little practice babysitting Tuesday night for the Clarks while they went out for the romantic holiday. The night went really well, and it honestly was a relaxing break to go hang out with kids for a few hours . . . and looking after four kids was a piece of cake, I don't know what all the fuss is about . . . although, they are all very well-behaved, but still. I also get to spend the evening watching Tjabe Koenen tonight while his father drives through the dark looking and listening for owls.
One last thing, for any of you I haven't told, our next voice recital is scheduled for April 1st; I am beginning to feel confident enough about it to publicize that.
