Back to School

I began my journey at Logan yesterday: it will not be one without familiar faces however, as my home-town buddy Cam and friend from MU Carrie have found their way to this epic adventure. Holly crap though, the room we were in yesterday was freezing...now I know how my wife feels every day of the week. I will have an arsenal of long-sleeved accessories to complete my remainding of the summer wardrobe.

My body is still recouping a bit from Gateway, but I think things are on the up. I have not attempted to ride to school this week, but I believe I will begin that next. Hopefully, I don't have to lug 80 #'s worth of books to Chesterfield everyday...we shall see.

I received a refreshing phone call from Thomas last evening; I had already locked myself in the office to begin reading the plethora of material Logan has to offer. I think yesterday I realized we were not in Columbia any longer, as I am usually surrounded by several people that I have been in school with for the past several years. This was a sad awakening, however, I am sure this time next year things will feel comfortable. We met way too many good people in Columbia...maybe the two cities will grow so much in the next year or so that STL and Columbia will be considered the same: we will have a light rail system that could have my bike and I on the eastern fronts of a Big Tree in about a half hour.

Not much else going on. Parker loves his yard, and the kitty enjoys life just a touch more when he is outside. Look back for some weekend bicycling adventures, as every ride is an exploration!
