"I had nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion."

- Jack Kerouac, On the Road

Recent adventures have been pretty tame, involving watching movies, reruns of scrubs, and reading a lot. I went hiking for a week with my high school English teacher, Mr. Rabb, and had a great time. My legs still hurt though about five days later. I'll get some pics from him maybe to put up. Otherwise, I have a nephew now and he's pretty cool. His name is Carsten, he makes Pterodactyl noises and he needs his diaper changed frequently. I can't find the link to his baby-site right now or else I'd attach his photo. 

Otherwise, here is an old picture of me underwater while scuba-diving, and a hand-drawn self portrait.

As you can tell I'm bored.

He was late as a matter of principle, the principle being that promptness was the thief of time.

- in reference to Lord Henry in Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. (By memory, not sure if it's exact).

Seems like an appropriate quote to describe my lack of promptness in updating my blog, though in truth my other pursuits probably meet the description of "thiefs of time" more than updating my blog. I digress...

I'm in Ohio, kickin it with my folks, until I get something lined up. Hoping to get back overseas soon, not sure of anything. Jon and I had a great trip down to Central America, though 3 months was long enough and we were both happy to finish up I think. Jon is now moved on to Ghana where he will teach high school Bible classes. Here are a few more photos from that trip.
