It's only been a few months... so I thought I would bring you up to date on what is happening in the land of the Ramblin' Scotzman.
First off, I am working at a real estate office here in town and it's been okay. Scotty was not made to be trapped behind the four walls of the cubicle wasteland. Luckily I work with some of the funniest people in the world. They make worktime lots of fun.
Even though we are only 3 hours southwest of Detroit, we were told that the Winters here weren't as bad... someone lied. It has been cold and we got a pretty good snowfall once this year. We are supposed to get some more tonight. All that being said, these people have no idea what a Michigan Winter is like. The schools here cancel so often it's ridiculous... obviously, I am slightly jealous because I wish we had as many snow days when I was a kid. When we had our big snowfall - all 8 inches of it - they literally told us if they caught you on the road, you would be arrested. Only in Ohio.
We are really settling in and enjoying it here though. The people are great and living in a smaller town is really nice too. There are times I hate having to drive 20 or 30 minutes for a night out, but our little town is growing. Best Buy will be open in April and there is even a rumor that we'll have a few chain restaurants going up in the not too distant future. Trust me, man cannot live on Applebee's and Bob Evans alone. Cheryl told you what happened when we got a KFC/Long John Silver's... unbelievable. But to the people here it's all brand new.
I also had my first sump pump adventure on my birthday weekend. I had no idea what to expect since I have never had one of those before, but this thing was going off every 30 seconds at one point and I thought for sure it was going to blow up. I was freaked out about it, but in the end a guy from my church came over and told me to stop worrying... this is what they do.
Like I said earlier, I got a little older too... I am hoping to start using one of my birthday gifts soon, as I am hoping to start Podcasting. No promises, but I will let you know when I take the plunge. Maybe I will keep up with that a little better than the Blogging.
Well, I know this Blog has not been too inspirational or funny, but you have to get back on the horse somehow.

Welcome back man! We missed ya.
Glad things are going well, you definitely were made to sit in a cube! So how are things at the church? Isnt that what brought ya down there?
Scott!
Well it is good to read you again!
I recall similar winter experiences when we lived in Ohio with the exception of the orders to stay off the road. Ohioians (hmm?) would never make it in Minnesota--what is it an average of 60 inches of snow annually?--which is probably why they don't live there.
What are you doing at the real estate office? Fun at work does help to make the time pass quickly.
Like the picture! You did it with your Mac???
And of course, congrats Uncle! Heard the good news this afternoon.
