The One, Two, Three

Hey everyone. I saw our new blogger--Hey Robert--and I thought I'd post a picture of me and my wife Laura.

Robert, I think I remember you from Dr. Salting's Sociolinguistic's course, where you had a project that dealt with the linguistics of humor. I believe I also went to two, yes two, English Club meetings and you were there. The End.

So yeah, it seems that you are in kind of the same bind that I am in up here in Oregon. I have been searching for a career-related job to no avail. I guess I am not entirely sure about your status, but I hope things are going well in a foreign land.

A few things in my life:

1) I am currently producing a literary journal that will be a fundraising source for a dear friend's non-profit, Graceworks International, that I have already found a place to publish for free!!! I am pumped. I hope to splurge more details later...

2) I am in a band. I am the lead guitar. I like to play.

3) Laura's pregnant. or wait, I think it's supposed to go.....ahem, LAURA'S PREGNANT!!!! It's pretty crazy, unplanned, and well, crazy. He/she is due late Nov/Early Dec, and is currently growing arms and legs and now is the size of a grain of rice. Oh yes, our child has a heart, and it is the size of a poppy seed--see as I said, crazy!

So how's that 1, 2, 3?

Anyways, The Shins. Are they not from the NW? They are on the radio quite a bit up here, and I worked with someone at Powell's Books who loved them.

I am hooked on LoveDrug, Bob Marley (as per usual), and I am currently re-reading the book of Isaiah.

Good to hear from everyone.
