Reflections

I've been working on the house quite a lot, and so it was with great enthusiasm that I accepted a jet skiing invitation from my friends Richard and Debbie. I met up with them Sunday afternoon, and about 4:00 we took off down the Wisconsin River. I thought that it would only be a two hour adventure, or so, but it ended up being much longer. We went all the way to the Mississippi River and then stopped at Marquette, IA for burgers and beer. On the way back we landed on a sandbar to watch the sunset's changing reflections. I arrived home around midnight. It was so good to hangout with them again. It was a year since we had spent time together, and the last time was not under the most desirable circumstances -- we were "un-backfilling" an archaeological site.

I've heard that my brother is getting married. Apparently his girlfriend (on again, off again) told some people this news at her workplace, and I just happened to hear about it from one of her co-workers who didn't know that my brother is her boyfriend. What an odd feeling.
