My Half Birthday

I started these blogs exactly six months ago.  Wow.  A lot has gone on.  Sometimes it feels like six months was yesterday; other times it feels like a lifetime ago.  What I was in August is light years from where I am now, and yet I'm still pretty much the same person.  I mean, it's only a six month change.  Not much can go on, right?  It's quite a thought, one that could warrant some deeper thinking.

And while I was doing that super deep thinking, I remembered the summer.  I was visiting Marcus and had just convinced him to road trip up to Yosemite with me.  I had just gotten my job offer in Kansas and everything was working out.  Everything could be summed up as follows: a beautiful sunshiny day at 8,000 feet, a canopy of trees shading me just right, hammock spread across the trunks, 65 degrees, a gentle wind, and there I was, lying down with a good book.  That'd be nice to revisit...
