I guess that I got to thinking driving up to Norman today that my life is exactly where I want it to be heading...and it's kind of scary in some respects. I'm finally on my way to following my dreams...So for those of you who might not be aware, here goes

And someday, maybe I'll get honourable mention. =P

You know us four-month olds love you, but I think most of us can understand the distinction you're making. :-) Hope you're having fun at work!

If I may be so presumptious, as one of the four month ones I don't find it offensive. It works the other way as well. Even in my fraternity there are guys I consider closer to me than others.

Okay so I thought I'd go back and read some of your old posts after I met you this weekend and I see this:

Growing up I spoke quite a bit of Choctaw (which to my dismay I forgot most of what I knew)

Too bad you still don't speak it! I could've used your expertise for some Choctaw translating when my Mom and I run across it in genealogy research (I have a smidge of Choctaw blood).

If you don't mind my asking (as I am "younger" than the 4-mo buddies *grin*), why did you grow up speaking Choctaw?

Well, my great-grandmother is really prominant in the Choctaw circles in SE Ok arould Kennedy (no longer exists...but my family cemetary is still there),Heavener, Talihena (sp?), and the like. My great-grandmother's (we call her Kingfish) first language was Choctaw. Anyway, mum grew up in that area as well, and spent quite a bit of time with my great grandmother, thus picking it up. Well, mum was heavy into beadwork/pow-wow circuits, so I got it from several angles...I really miss that aspect of my life, but hopefully somday I may be able to pick it back up.
