Much apologies for the layoff, JAT fan(s). The wife and I were in the Land of a Thousand Dust Storms, sometimes known as Lubbock, Texas, looking for (and finding) a nifty little apartment that shall be our home until springish 2010.
We began our trip last Friday afternoon, driving three hours to my hometown of Belton. We stayed in the Big B until Sunday afternoon, even finding time to stop by this guy's house on Saturday for a round of golf, the card game. After church on Sunday we headed north and got to Lubbock around eight. We stayed the night and spent pretty much all of Monday looking at all the apartments that we could. After narrowing our choices down to two, we went with the Dakota Arms Apartments. Very weird name, I know, but what can ya do, right? After dropping a few bones on that deposit, we made our way south again, this time stopping in dear ole Abilene to stay with Kayla's cousin Lindsay and her husband, Jason. Oh yeah, Kayla's sister Bethany lives there, too.
Anywho, after staying an extra day just because we could, we finally made our way back to the Greater Houston Area yesterday evening. Eighteen hours of driving and over $120 of gas later, I'm ready to stay in one spot, at least for a day or two.
Besides traversing Texas, Kayla and I, along with her parents, have gotten really into watching the TV show Lost, on DVD. Kayla bought us the first season for my birthday last month, and we've since purchased seasons 2 & 3, so we have plenty of Lost ahead of us. I know we're a little late to the party, but I now realize why it's such a popular show, and can completely relate to how people get so sucked into it.
That about sums up things for me, if you need anything, I'll be the guy in the driveway washing pounds of red dirt off his car.

For those who care: The link on "this guy" is supposed to be a picture of Jig from Facebook. Y'all remember him, right?
Anyway, since you have to be signed in to view it, the link won't take you to the pic. My bad.
At some point, we're going to need a thorough treatise from the Twig concerning the rooting conflict of interest you will experience upon your enrollment as a Texas Tech Red Raider.
