friends and family...

I have not posted an update in some time, and nothing of a personal nature in even longer.  Fact is, there's not been a whole lot going on.

My good friend, Lara Jeane, is back in town, and I have seen her a couple times, which makes me very happy.  Two friends of mine from "back home" (that is a strange phrase, which I have found myself using a

Wait a minute! When did you become a lieutenant?! At best, comrade, you are a sergeant. I, on the other hand, should be addressed as comrade captain, y'hear?!

Well, Mr. Comrade Captain Charles Sir, being an anarchist and all, self appointed titles seems to be the only accurate way of doing these things.
I just got done organizing a DIE-IN in BLOOMINGTON of 60 people, so I think lieutenant is very appropriate! ::nod::

Unfortunately, I am out of town until next Wednesday, due to family obligations.
