Facebook

Well I have officially joined facebook, and I'm addicted.

You can check it out at www.facebook.com

Just got back to Durham, from a very awesome vacation. Had a guy's weekend with Andy and Aarish in DC!

Then, Nicole and I and Sofie took a week-long vacation, stopping through Savannah, and staying with Jason and Amy Rice in Jacksonville, then seeing Amy (my sister's) apartment at UF, before finally arriving home in Tampa to see the family. Spent the weekend playing Rockband with Jenny and Jeff, and hanging out with their ever-so-cute kids Tyler and Kaelyn, had dinner with Danielle and Mike and Kristen and Colin. Then, Nicole flew back, and Sofie and I drove back north, and stopped over in Atlanta where I got to hang with Ben Yin, and stayed with Amy and Nate, and then it was back up to Durham! I just started back at work, although in a nice cush rotation where I do exercise treadmill tests for the old folks for cardiac rehab.

Will write more soon!

Well, again I knew it would be hard to keep up with the blog...its been since November. And then I start my vacation, and realize I need to get a lot better at this.

My first post in 2008. And with the old wishful thinking, I'm hoping to keep up with this again. I'll try my best. There's alot thats happened since my last post, too much to tell all at one time. So I won't try to do it all now...I'll be writing a series of posts to get you up to speed.
