Jake and update
This is Jake, waiting for the midnight fireworks and becoming interested in another type of flaming object.

In other news, the start of my final semester is Monday, with a softball class. I'm still doing web design at the Museum of Natural History, about to start on an overhaul of an archaeology society site and a project to teach kids about human culture in Georgia through archaeology.
I'm reading up on the Middle-East, starting with a boring book that contains a lot of information but could not be any less interesting. However, everything in the news I hear about Gaza makes it seem like a place I'd rather not be. Need to look into the Golan Heights.
Still no idea about what I'll be doing come post-graduation. No Navy, but what?
Got my motorcycle license and have been riding around of late, not this morning because it was pretty cold when I woke up. This leaves me a quandary:
Things I know how to do: sail, drive a stick, ride a horse, ride a motorcycle, rock climb, build a log house/cabin. So, what should be my next acquired skill, in that vein? I thought about scuba diving, but there's no real place to do it around here. I thought about snow skiing, but again, nothing around here. I thought about getting a pilot's license, but that's a long and expensive process. So, I'm going to learn how to fly fish and tie my own flies. A skill, a hobby, can do it around here, not super expensive, and I can do it my whole life.
I went to the sportsman store yesterday, but I have a little more reading to do.
