Here's your update

So- I traveled over 1500 miles one way. Saw friends I hadn't seen in years (literally). One set I hadn't seen in about nine or ten (man are we getting old). In two instances the first order of business with me really wasn't "hey you look great- good to see you" or "you added 40lbs and lost some hair" or "I'm glad we could get together" rather the message was "update your blog". Now really... ah forget it.

Had a great time on vacation- good food and drink and conversation and time to think. Used a chainsaw- chopped A LOT of firewood (red oak which just blows apart when you hit it right- fun!) Went tubing and swimming at the lake. Played guitar with a friend from the church where I got saved and was in a worship band together way back when. Spent a lot of time with Vicki, and the kids- and it was great every last bit of it. There is no better way to deepen relationship than spending lots of non-distracted time together. Praise God from whom all blessing flow!
