IDAHO, Y'ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Greetings.

News.

You want it?

I got it.

Here it is.

Exhibit A: Work/School News
This semseter is way better than last semester. Amanda's classes are going well. She gets to teach Modern Art this semester, which she seems to like quite a bit better than Ancient Art, and she is having a good time with her students. Andrew's (hereafter referred to as "my") classes are going very well, thank you. I find it much more enjoyable to be in upper division classes. I will do my student teaching next semester and then I will be done. All in all, good times.

Exhibit B: Personal News
As usual, good. Nothing much to report on that front. As the salty dogs of yesteryear used to say, "Red skies at morning, sailor take warning. Red skies at evening, in the clear."

That means things are good.

Exhibit C: Cat News:
They grow, they get spayed, they are calm for two days, then we figure out they were calm because they were on drugs, they get back to normal, scratching, biting, charming. I realized the other day that I address the cats as if they were humans, that is to say, as if they speak English. This frightened me, though I can't seem to stop myself.


Exhibit D: Misc.:
Amanda painted her office green. It's cozy.

And now, potatoes:



Everybody likes a good potato joke from time to time.

Home, Or, January, the Monday of Months

We had a nice holiday in "La California," as the locals call it. We saw many, many people, most of whom were happy to see us, and ate quite a lot of food. Family + Food + General Sense of Apathy Towards Exercise During the Holiday Season = New Year's Resolutions. Ours are to eat less and keep in better contact with our friends. This is good news for everbody.

In other news, school starts next week, the cats are getting spayed (thank God), we got haircuts, and I have started using shower gel. Amanda is getting over being sick, I am entering into being sick, and yesterday was our second wedding anniversary. The 2006 Dodgers are shaping up to be better than the 2005 Disappointments, er, Dodgers, and it looks like we're in for a busy spring. Many, many visitors.

And now, I'd like to introduce you to my brothers and sisters. I am the one attempting to hit the little one with the baseball.



Happy pre-Spring!
