Ahhh. Oxygen flowing through my lungs and the gills are on the shelf for the time being. (I'm sure they'll be back out soon.) So, what have I learned? Too much travel over the holiday is not a good thing for anyone involved; I really like taking photographs (preferably landscapes, more on that later); home is a good place to spend time; everyone should read 'A New Kind of Christian'; graduate school will be 1.) fun and 2.) not fun; I'm only slightly nerdy (take a look below.)
