Episode VIII: I Feel I Never Told You the Story of the Ghost
"I'm going away where you will look for me
Where I'm going you cannot come
And no one's ever gonna take my life from me
I lay it down--a ghost is born"
-Jeff Tweedy, "Theologians"
Just spent an hour typing out excerpts from the last month and a half of my journal. It all got deleted. I try to keep in touch with my friends and family; I write letters to those who write me, and I post internet messages to my friends. Still, it's cathartic to let my friends and family in on some of the daily thoughts I write down. Oh, well. I'm not staying in front of this computer for another hour doing the exact same thing.
Wish I could watch The Game with my family this weekend. In elementary school, the week leading up to the game, the OSU fight song would be played over the p.a. system before the morning announcements. It's part of my childhood. I like being from a region that considers a childish, fun little word like "game" important enough to capitalize it.
I'm doing well. I try not to miss anyone or anything too much; sometimes I'm successful, sometimes I'm not.

it's good to get an update, even if it isn't everything you wanted to say.
p.s.
snorkelcam is great.
Love the underwater look. I try not to miss you too much. Sometimes I'm successful, sometimes I'm not.

you gonna start scuba while you're there or what? Keep on believing.
That water looks warmer than the Hocking pool. Last week the heater was broke. Made me regret not buying all that scuba gear last year when it was on sale!
Read your Blog while at the cottage as U2 played in the background, anticipating The Game starting. Almost perfect! You watching it with us would be perfect. Would be a thrill being the person taking your snorkle picture. Miss you.
