Vur Eyes On

Who's got their new DSL service up and running in their new apartment? These guys. It's been a wacky, fun-filled, adventurous few days here in beautifully crowded Fairfax County, but I'm definitely feeling settled in, for the most part.

In fact, it seems these past few days have been ones of change and travel for several people, not just me. Who else, you might ask? Well, I think the Discovery astronauts are glad to be back on terra firma (and I'm certainly glad there were no further complications, though I do think it's time to start pushing for a post-shuttle space program, whatever that might be). Amy's been traveling across the U.S. on her way to her new home, and she's been encountering strange and wonderful people along the way. One of my old friends from my first couple of years in college, Jess, got married in Kentucky, though I was unable to attend.

So, maybe there were favorable conditions for change up there somewhere. The Man Upstairs had his PDA in fine form, making all the schedules run right. I'm just glad that everything went smoothly.

... Even though this did happen a few days ago, I couldn't let this story slip by. If you haven't heard about singer Marc Cohn's survival of a bullet to his head, then read up on it. He really must be living right, because not only did he survive the shooting after an attempted carjacking, but police have also arrested the man thought to have been behind the shooting. Is Marc Cohn a Christian? Maybe he is tonight.

... With all this talk about getting settled into the new place, I think it's time to go on another trip. Say, back home to be in my brother's wedding? I'll warm up the car, you pick up the donuts. I'll post if I get a chance!
