What, me, post?

Hi Internets, sorry for the delay in contact. You see, i have a very good reason, it has to do with a renegade trucker on one of the more boring patches of I-80, apparently boring enough to drive him to the brink of insanity:


Ok, so, not really. But i do promise that we got on airplanes since i last talked, and went to go see Erik & Kara (college buds) go and get hitched. As this was a suburban Detroit affair, we saw some High School peeps as well as Aunt Jen and Uncle Ken in Milford with their criminally cute kids Asher & Isaac. Isaac rode his two wheeler for the first time. It was a pretty big weekend, all told.


I've also been up in the middle of nowhere (read: south central Wyoming) for the better part of a week a few weeks back, installing a 20 meter tower and big air quality shelter. I get to climb said tower a fair amount in the next couple of weeks as we hang sensors and what not on it, and the funny thing is that while i'll be doing that for pay, on the weekends we'll be doing our best to get out and climb up to heights as well.

But you know, for free.

It is also coming down the pipe that I may be traveling this Fall for work, probably to the Portland area, some time in Montana, and also to the southeast corner of Ecuador and also a couple trips over the next year all the to Tanzania. It's a little bittersweet, for as much as i love free travel, i'd love it even more if they were all happening over the summer months, so liz could accompany and also improve her abilities in ordering a beer in spanish. So, as things continue rolling with this new job, i'm sure that i'll do my best to post a personally-taken picture of a giraffe.

I've also begun my first-ever season of Fantasy Football (with a disaster of a draft story, as well) that began with last night's Saints-Colts game. So, while i've never posted much of anything about the NFL in the past, i'll apologize in advance for all of the whining I'm going to be doing about Reggie Bush. (My #2 back. If last night is any indication, well, ... yikes.)

What's that? It's Friday? And i've missed two weeks of comic posting? Well, aren't you astute. Try this to cleanse your palette - it's a comic from a new strip that i've begun reading about a couple living in San Francisco, called Real Life Comics. This made me chuckle, due to its nerdy/social-stereotype nature... which means about two other people will find it as funny as i did. Oh well.


Ok, here's something from a few weeks back, so i suppose it fits to post as a make-up for my missed weeks. It's a guest strip from Scott Kurtz's strip PvP, which is based around a gaming magazine for geeks. BUT, this particular gem revolves what cats are really thinking when you give them catnip.


Alright. I'm out of here.

Reggie Bush should tear it up in the NFC games. Don't worry you got a pretty good back.

I hope so - but, the fact of the matter is, they were playing against (statistically) the worst run defense in the entiiiiire NFL last year - and he got less than 40 yards on 12 carries. whoopie.

Maaannn.... It looks like the only game that i may really get to see start to finish will be the Notre Dame game on NBC. If michigan continues their suck-fest, absolutely no one outside of the mitten is going to care about the backyard brawl, let alone putting it on tv.
