A lot can happen in a year. I’ve never really been good at blogging, and here’s a case-in-point.
Things that have happened since my last post:
- I got engaged
- I quit my job
- Christmas
- New Year’s party
- My best friend got a girlfriend
- I watched close to a hundred movies
- I graduated college
- I got hired as a fifth grade teacher
- I moved to a new state
- I got married
- I bought Pet SoundsIn addition, I have made numerous kitchen creations that could have been the subjects of many an interesting post. At least to me.
And so, I am in many ways changed. But essentially, the only thing that really feels different is the move to Virginia. Even marriage is just a continuation of Betsy’s and my relationship (is that correct, grammatically?). Don’t get me wrong, the picture up there is of the most memorable day in my life, but marriage was a foregone conclusion a long time before we got engaged.
All that to say, right now I’m in the local library, because we don’t have internet yet. I’ve got a stack of CD’s that I’m loading onto our computer, and yes, I bought them, because, as I’m discovering, I am the last person alive who still buys CD’s. Whatever.

I sometimes hear people use the phrase, “the question becomes.” This causes me to wonder, what was the question before? Did the question have a series of past lives in which it was, at different times, an exclamation, an imperative or a declarative remark? Moreover, what was the agent of change? And let us not even begin to look into the cosmological nature of the matter (that is, whence did the question originate?). It seems that the phrase, namely, “the question becomes,” creates more questions than it intends to.
