The Return

Ok, it's been a year....more than a year...I know. I'm sorry. It's been a busy year. The super-fast version of the last 12-14 months: there was this road trip to Moab with the boys and Zeibers followed by a crazy summer of test cruises then three quarters of classes, programming, filter weighing, rock climbing, a wedding (obviously not mine), and....life.

Which leads to today. Today I'm in Portland visiting the parents before they fly off to Mexico... again. You know, it's just not fair when I come back from a cruise and say "I got to see a humpack whale!!!" and the response from my mother is "only one? That's too bad." I'm not sure why today is particularly special, but I flipped back to my St George blog to reread some of my posts and realized that I've rather missed writing on occasion, and its high time I get back in the habit.

The next logical step would be to write about the aforementioned cruise, but given that a) there's already a blog on the topic, albeit not written by me, and b) I think anyone reading this has already heard all about it, I think I'll just leave that piece be, except to say visit http://blogs.oregonstate.edu/wecoma0905b to read about it. And I suppose I should mention that the experience reminded me quite poignantly just how much I love being at sea.
