Well, it’s been a while. As I’ve indicated before … when I’m pretty silent here on wdn, it’s usually because my real life is pretty saturated and satisfying. And that has indeed been the case lately … here are some highlights:

• I started working two weeks ago … for the most part, it was pretty bewildering, looking at the same stuff from a very different perspective. I had to move out of my classroom, paint my new office and move in, figure out some priorities for these first couple of weeks, and begin to learn to communicate what my position will be about. Monday it all hits the fan … faculty orientation, followed by the first actual day of school on Wednesday.
• I’m two-thirds of the way through my motorcycle safety course … if all goes well, I should get my endorsement (license) tomorrow after spending another six hours on the bike.
• I’ve been pretty sick the past couple of days … Thursday’s hourly vomit-fest progressed into a headachy Friday, followed today by an interesting combination of diarrhea and constipation. I’m trying to just rest and drink tons of water, but it’s taking longer than I thought it would to kick.
• I spent a week out at camp, subbing for the photographer/videographer. It was great to connect with the counselors and see what God was doing out there, and creating the DVD was quite a challenge. I don’t know how I used to do that.
• I also went back to Akron for a week to spend some time with my parents and to see my sister’s fam, my brother’s fam, Paul and Sarah, Shaun and Jessica, and Ezra and Michelle. It was pretty sweet.
• A local photographer, Paul Armstrong, asked me to assist him at a couple of weddings this month. I normally reject any opportunity that I’m given to shoot (and potentially ruin) this all-important day, but working with Paul was something I just couldn’t pass up. I’ll post my shots soon.
• I’ve also been playing indoor soccer, bowling, watching Olympics, going to the ATP tennis tournament, and spending lots of time with a really beautiful person. Yep, this is the good stuff.
