Well, Happy New Year! And yes, I know that I am slightly late. Things have been moving at a rather rapid pace, so I will briefly try to break down the events of the past two months.
November:
My family and I traveled to Pensacola to see Luke for Thanksgiving. His school has a horrible rule which prohibits students from leaving the school during the Thanksgiving holidays until two or three in the afternoon on Thanksgiving Day! So we spent the weekend in the cold northwestern region of Florida.
December:
This month went by much to quickly. My school semester ended the second week of the month, so I was able to relax for a few weeks after finals. The Christmas holidays were quite enjoyable. My sister and brother came back for a few weeks and my grandparents came down to visit for a weekend.
January:
It has been a fairly good start to the new year. My brother Luke and I drove up to Maryland for the weekend of the 12-13. One of my best friends, Robert West, committed a grievously, fatal error by getting married... So, we went up there for the weekend to celebrate the forfeiture of his liberty and freedom. On the way home, we stayed at my grandparent's house in Georgia. My Grandpa just underwent open-heart surgery this past Monday, and he has stabilized and is doing quite well now--albeit a little sore.
That brings us up to the present. The Wade basketball team (Varsity) is 6-1, and the JV team also has a winning record...which I will post once I learn what it is.
I am currently reading the third book in the Emperor series by Conn Iggulden, and I must say that this series is probably my favorite to date. The author is excellent and he is writing about one of my favorite times in history about one of my favorite characters in history.
Christy was here last week, and we went to the Brevard Zoo on Saturday. I had never been to our local zoo, and I was actually very impressed. It is a fairly decent zoo with a wide variety of wildlife from across the globe. In fact, a bird (the very bird in the picture below) nearly dropped an indecent amount of poo on my arm in the free-flight aviary. Fortunately he got rid of that mess before he climbed upon my shoulder.
I am out of thoughts for now. I will be back someday...
Until then,
Lorimer
