Happy Birthday World!
I know it is impossible to speculate on what day 4.6 billion years ago the earth was formed. This is not even taking into account the complexities of calendars over time and variances by cultures. I know it is juvenile and a little naive, but ever since i was a kid, I have felt like every New Year we are collectively celebrating the birthday of this hunk of dirt we call home. So… Happy New...

I have become aware of something.
Without intending it, I have been living a Rocky IV training montage. I moved to a cold climate a week ago to study train around the clock and I haven’t shaved since. What I didn’t expect to realize is that, no matter how much I wish it were so, I will never be a beard person. I am a devotee of all things rustic and masculine. I have used a hydraulic wood splitter more than once....
I love my Books...
But they make it a lot harder to move. I must have unpacked 1500 pounds of them so far. Friends tell me I should go digital, but keeping physical copies of books is my way of keeping score.
Edit: In retrospect, I realize this post kind of makes me sound like a pretentious ass.
About an our too late, but I’m still feeling...

I am going to miss never being asked for identification at the bank
I should mention that I am moving because I am starting law school as a decidedly non traditional student. The short version roughly goes that after years of working in “the real world”, I lost my job in a corporate reorganization. So it is off to school I go to do my part in the family business.
I may have neglected to mention....
I am moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan for a few years. No big deal.
I’ve been in Michigan for three days and had to come back to Kentucky to find the sleet and snow.

So I hear it is a warm, sunny day back in my native Kentucky. That’s cool. I’ll just be rocking out the mid 30’s here in rainy Ann Arbor. Don’t be jealous.
PSA: CHECK YOUR SPARE TIRE PRESSURE!

phone call from a family member telling me they have a flat tire… check

Feeling super happy I always have an air compressor in my truck… You bet your ass.
Pretty bummed I can’t make the Last Waltz tonight, but it is all for the best.

Cats! Cats! Cats!
It is a big day here in the Blue Grass. Looking forward to seeing my Alma Mater take it to those powder blue bastards. At least I hope that is what happens.
I am sitting in silence, studying the fading embers of a fire that has kept me company this evening. My companion is not long for this world. Yet still, on occasion, a crackle and flame break the encroaching stillness of night. So lovely is this thing that will not live until dawn.
