A quick apology first of all for not posting. I need to get more disciplined about this. Erg. Anyhow. I’m back and have lots to tell! (not all tonight, I am too tired)
We are back from the states! We flew to Evansville and then over to Tell City for the wonderful wedding of Chris and Kelly. We were very excited and very ready to, after a frustrating (and a bit shaky) incident with a contact in the area. I plan on doing a wedding blog so look out -
Anyhow, cool things that happened to us:
I chopped off almost all the hair! YES. i cant believe it. I knew it was coming… it was about 6 months in the coming actually… i just could never bring myself around to actually DOING it. BUT now it is done. We also travelled 2.5 hours to Tennessee to get my driver’s license renewed. (Yeay again) I was long overdue, and got fined for renewing after it expired, but man am i glad i got it done. it has been 9 years since i had a new license. The photo is a scan off of my license actually. what do you think?

So what all did we do, other than the wedding, you might be asking? Hmm…. not a whole lot.
Played a bunch of bball with the boys - Chris has a group of at least 10 guys who have all grown up together in TC. Its an awesome group and they are very close. They have played ball all their lives as well, so its always good fun, something in common, something relaxing to enjoy together. I really only had a good session on the final day, we played, July 4th. Even hit the winning 3 pointer to end the game. I was a happy boy.

What else what else — oh yes - We also watched lots of Sports Center. If you dont know
Sports Center, then you are not from the States. I think you could almost say that SC is to young men these days, as horses are to cowboys. You don’t often get one without the other. Its amazing. I forgot how much Chris used to watch it. I probably spent at least 5 hours watching SC while i was there. heehee.

Tell City is a little town of 8′000 people. The type of place people dreamof living in. The doors to their houses arent locked durign the day. The keys to the car… you guessed it - can be left in the car. No one will steal it. I have even seen wallets with cash, and cards inside, left in the car, in plain view, without any stress or even a second thought. Its a small town, and every one (so far as i can see) respects the small town-y-ness of it.

So. This is just a taster -
Did i want to stay? yes. Did I want to purchase a house there? yes. Did i talk with Hollinden Reality owner Tony? yes. *note Hollinden is the last name of my best friend Chris whom i went to see.

But hey, one day, right!? For now, I am happy where I am at. Even though one has to deal with the occasional bomb. Lots of love to all.
