Well now folks

Well now folks... here I am.

Howdy and a very good day to ye :)

For those amongst you who happen to have RSS feeds -- thank you for subscribing, I would imagine this sort of long silence followed by a solitary (or maybe not) post is just what it was designed for.  Long is, of course, completely relative, and solitary isn't very well defined, so it might be possible to leave this behind!

One of the easiest things to do at this point would be of course to post pictures and leave it there.  That would be something, wouldn't it?  All this leadup, just to leave it hanging again...

Come to think of it, there's an awful lot to look through if you haven't seen them.  A&M is a good place for taking random pictures:

And of course there was the skiing trip over the Christmas break!  It's hard to beat an annual ski trip with family. (it's rather difficult to remember the camera on the mountain...)

If you're the type to keep up with all the speech/debate escapades from what is now my past, there was a rather enjoyable New Year's party with ICOM...

ICOM New Year 2011


And of course more recent than all that, Reformed University Fellowship Summer Conference in Panama City, Florida.
From Monday 'til Saturday, we did naught more than go to conferences (i.e. prolonged studies on God's word and the application thereof in our tiny often misguided lives) in the morning and chill on the beach in the afternoon.  Evenings were a mix of large group and hanging out with friends from Texas A&M RUF and other places around the nation, with the exception of Wednesday evening when we all took the evening and went for dinner as a campus group. (it's difficult getting a place for 60 people to eat!  We probably severely strained the supplies of the ice cream/gelato place next door as well)

It's hard to beat living yards from the beach!  I don't normally take more than about 150 pictures when I go somewhere unless I'm really trying; this time around, there were nearly 130 -- and I wasn't even trying.
Of course in the interest of upload space I'm sticking with a good deal less than that.

Wonderful times, y'all, I'll have to go back there -- physically and mentally, of course.

Texas A&M does put one in a state of mind that reflects "howdy".  Or is that just me?

God bless!
