well, i climbed about 50 feet up a tree today just to see what i could view from that promontory. it's great. i could see the water, the mountains and the whole neighborhood. next time i'll bring a camera up with me so i can share.
school is going well. i got a 90% on my first test! can't argue with that. the whole thing is making some good sense to me. i like that. and i like it better this time than when i was in high school, thank heavens. i think i can take a full year of this stuff straight...maybe.
in other news my best friend is getting married in a few weeks. it's basically the definition of the shotgun wedding. minus the shotgun and adding in an M-16 instead. he's rushing so they'll be good to go for his deployment to okinawa in june. so i can understand. he's sure that she's the one and i'm excited for him. trying to get some time off of work to go down and see him. i hope i can manage it. it's going to cost a good deal, as well, and i'd have to put it on a credit card because i'm broke from the bike and school hitting me at the same time. such is life. in other news i'm FINALLY going to get my bike back after almost a straight month in the shop. they basically don't know who they can and can't get parts from anymore which has caused over 2 weeks of delays. so it's kinda their fault but it's also not like they've just had it and haven't been trying to get it done, either. i'm just antsy because the past two weeks have been gorgeous out here. damn i've wanted to go ride basically every single day. there's been one day of rain these past weeks and other than that it's been sunny, warm and generally perfect spring weather.
so i'll be round to say hi in a bit...i have to name the bike now. yeah, i'm one of those kids. but i choose czech names instead of normal names. at least i'm unique. my car was named anezka. this bike is a boy. i'm not sure what he's named yet. more on that to come.
that is all! sukka!

Have fun at the wedding. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy. Cake is usually good too...yum!

Americans may fight evil, they argued, but that does not make us inherently good. And paradoxically, that very recognition makes national greatness possible. Knowing that we, too, can be corrupted by power, we seek the constraints that empires refuse. And knowing that democracy is something we pursue rather than something we embody, we advance it not merely by exhorting others but by battling the evil in ourselves. The irony of American exceptionalism is that by acknowledging our common fallibility, we inspire the world. I hadn't seen that...thanks. I do have a subscription and it certainly was an interesting read.
