There are a few things about Hoots that make me smile. On Friday, I met up with  Realtor Mom, The Engineer, The Grad Student (who soon will no longer be a grad student but a Grad) and KK for awhile where we laughed and joked around about life in general.

Then I saw Dirk Diggler, who is still going to take me to see the dog grave and who tells stories better than anyone.Please encourage Dirk to get a camera because he needs one to take the various sundry things that he only sees.  I want to write about the time he met Grandpa Jones (which is hysterical and sweet) but I don’t want to bork it up because it is so good.

I am proud to also announce that Squirrel Queen has covered her last football game of Aught Nine and will be taking a few days off to rest her weary bones.

All of these things have had me thinking about connections. The Internet is great but one-on-one conversations about various things are really nifty. Without these  social outings, I couldn’t tell you about Mr. Jimmy or describe the rolled eyes from people I know when I talk about taking pictures of toys in bars.

I talked to Vibinc yesterday, who is in Miami on the road, and I think he’s more than ready to come home. I have had jobs where I traveled before and personally I like them, but I also don’t know what it’s like to be on the road for weeks on end either. If you are in Memphis, let me tell you something. A debate between Adrienne Pakis-Gillon and Brian Kelsey would be a good thing. As Democrats, do we really want this thing to go down without a fight? I say no.

I’m on the road next week myself. I actually need to be as I have felt a bit geographically challenged myself. And for those of you that have been interested in the Rural Broadband story below, I’ll keep updating you on what I’m learning if you are interested.

No real words of wisdom (when do I ever have those) but that life is as groovy as we allow it to be.

One last thing, if you blog, go look at faintgraylines‘ picture. It is pretty accurate, don’t you think.
