Another late night...
This weekend was nice; very relaxing and peaceful. I got a few things accomplished and read some of my books. I need to hurry and finish The Pale Horseman, because that is a great book. I cannot wait until the next one comes out this fall. I am still mad that Brian Haig's next book was pushed back eleven months. I wish it had come out when it was supposed to--Feb 06. John Grisham is not coming out with one next year, which is two years after his last one. These authors need not wait this long to put these books out.
Another week is starting and means that I only have five weeks of teaching left before I am done. That is a good thought. However, this Tuesday, I have to drive to Haines City for the AD meeting, which will be a waste of my time. I know this already, yet if I do not go, it costs the school 100 dollars. Not very cool (snap).
I am still waiting on the results of the contest of the Proteus Review for BCC. They should be coming out soon, because it is the May edition and they were supposed to release the results this month, but...this month is over and there are no results.
Well, I believe that is all for now. I will be back soon.

Another uneventful day. Although, my Dad is in town for a few days, and I was over at my parents house for a while today. That was fun.
I posted the beginning of the second chapter to the book Robert and I are writing tonight. I need to write some more for it, but it will have to wait until summer when school lets out.
The weather is starting to heat up. It is consistently in the high 80's everyday now, and hardly ever rains, which is not the best. Hopefully we get some rain soon, because it is very dry here. Even with all of this nice weather, I have not been to the beach in quite some time. How unfortunate...oh well, soon hopefully.
Sean McLay, a 9th grader at Wade, knocked his tooth out in gym class today on the head of another student, causing the other student to bleed profusely from his scalp. Needless to say, it was not a pretty sight. Sean's tooth was still connected to the bracket of his braces, and so was still hanging grotesquely from his mouth. Enough sick talk for the day though.
I believe that is all for this evening. I will talk more tomorrow; hopefully.
Later,
Lorimer

Today was normal, nothing too out of the ordinary. I went to wing night at long doggers again, as usual, with Ted and Chris. I also baked a cake today...first time at that, and that went well. It tastes normal, so that is a good thing.
I am not going to go into detail about day three today, and I do not know when I will. Though I hope that it will be soon, because at this rate, I will be preparing to go on the next trip when I finish writing about this one.
I will be getting the new FIFA World Cup game for my 360 sometime this week or the next. Ted is hooking me up, because he knows someone who works at EA Sports.
I am about halfway through two of the four books I am working my way through now. The Pale Horseman and Salamandastron are about halfway finished. I am almost one hundred pages into The Flight of the Nighthawk, and Running With the Demon has only just started. I need to finish these books so that I can get them back to the library, because I think they have been overdue for quite some time.
I need to finish the two books that I have started writing as well as the collection of short stories. I would start putting some of the new writing here, but it would take up a lot of space. We will see. I will probably add it as a supplemental log entry. I am trying to decide which story to start with. Probably the book Robert and I am writing to write together. Actually, I need to add it to another weblog site, so that I can devote an entire site to that book. The address for the RSS feed is lanceandrobsbook.blogspot.com. I posted the entire first chapter for your enjoyment.
I am going to bed, so I will talk soon.
Bye,
Lorimer

I am back again, and so soon at that. I believe that I mentioned writing about day 2 of my Europe adventure. Let me get that over with.
Day 2 - Rothenburg
We arrived at the Frankfurt airport after our eight hour flight at about eleven in the morning. We passed through customs and met our tour guides, Andrew and Carrie Bach. They were a very nice couple, and I am very thankful we had such great guides on our trip. After everyone had gathered in a central location, we boarded our bus and departed the airport. After a two and one half hour drive to our destination, Rothenburg, we gratefully stepped off of the bus and stretched--moaning and groaning the aches out of our limbs.
Joshua Expeditions, and our tour guides in particular, employee a wonderful method of touring the country. They would tell us briefly about the place we were going, some of the history and some of the best sights, and then they would let us break off into whatever groups we wanted and explore the city ourselves. That is the best way to view any new place, exploring for yourself.
Rothenburg was an ancient city, whose walls have been preserved since the 1300's. Ted, Luke, Danny, Jonny, and I toured around the wall and explored a few towers around the perimeter of the city. Everything was so old and very, very interesting. We met the entire group for dinner and afterwards had devotions in the hotel conference room. The beds were great everywhere we stayed the night, and I got plenty of sleep that night. The jet lag and the half day of exploring wore just about everybody out, and we were asleep in no time.
To be continued...
I will probably add day 3 in my next post. We will see.
I went to Books-a-Million last Monday and started reading a book entitled House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker. Very good book. I finished it, once again at BAM, on Friday. Another great book from Peretti. I have never been a fan of Dekkers, but I will have to read a book he wrote by himself to see for sure if his books are worth my time. I still have to finish the Redwall series and I am only on book five.
I just downloaded the England theme and gamer picture as well as the Broncos theme and gamer pictures for my XBox 360.
I believe that will be all for today. I am going to relax for the rest of the afternoon, and get some things done.
Goodbye,
Lorimer

Happy Easter! Not a very eventful day for me, although, I did finish Dan Brown's Digital Fortress. Very good book. Now I am trying to finish the other three I have started.
I was going to do Day 2 of my trip, but I am going to bed soon, so this will be a short post.
I wrote another essay for school yesterday and turned it in today. It was on Napoleon Bonaparte and his achievements in life.
I ran out of hangers...so now I have three shirts that do not have something to hang out with in the closet. I am going to go and get some soon. I am tired of not having enough hangers. Anyway, not that that is that important. What do you think of all those thats in that sentence that I just wrote...too many?
All right, enough for tonight. I am going to bed.

I finally did my taxes yesterday, and can relax on that count for a while...another year that is. I get a nice return, so that will be good. I also recieved Ted's pictures from the trip yesterday, but have not gotten a chance to look at them. He took about 900 pics, so when combined with mine, that is almost 1300! That is awesome.
Another thing that I discovered in the month-long sabatical I took from weblogging; topofthepods podcast. Very hilarious. I love listening to those guys count down whatever top ten list they have for the day. Great entertainment.
Europe was awesome. Especially Milan, Italy. That was great. Unfortunately we did not get to see The Last Supper painting, but it was awesome just the same.
I am going to journalize the ten days of our trip, but not all in one post. Probably just one day per post.
Day 1 - Monday, March 27
I had finished packing very early in the morning and gotten a few hours sleep. We met at the church at noon to leave for the airport. It took quite a while to get through customs and check bags, but finally we all gathered at the gate about an hour before the flight was to leave. The flight to New York was about two and one half hours and then we had an hour long layover in JFK. The flight to Frankfurt was about eight hours long. I sat next to Luke, so it was not too bad. It was more fun than if I was sitting next to someone very large...we landed in Frankfurt at about eleven o'clock on Tuesday, which would be the second day.
I believe that is all for now. I will have more some other time.

Wow, it has been a very long time since I last wrote in this weblog. Over a month! Good to be back. Lots of things have been happening since I have been away.
First of all, I went to Europe a couple of weeks ago and visited five different countries. Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Lichtenstein, and Italy. Ted and I actually broke away from the group for the last day to make an unplanned trip to Milan, Italy for the day. That was awesome. Great scenery the whole trip, so I took a lot of pictures. I believe that I took around 375 pictures overall, and Ted took about 750, so when we combine, we will have quite the collection. Awesome trip.
Cliff is leaving and is going to take the job at the Cape. That means that I will probably be getting his job in a couple of weeks. It is an awesome job, it is just too bad he has to leave for me to get it. He is a very good friend.
So much has been going on in the news, but I am not going to go too deeply into it all. Needless to say, a lot has been happening.
Christy left on Sunday for flight attendant training. She will be gone seven weeks and then has to move a week later to DC. Hopefully, she can transfer back to MCO soon, so we will see.
Two new books that I am currently reading: House by Frank Peretti/Ted Dekker and Digital Fortress by Dan Brown. Both very good. I am over halfway in the House book and should finish that tomorrow.
That is about all for now. I will be writing again soon...of course I said that last post and that was a month ago...we will see.
