Update Post

I haven’t blogged for a little while, and some significant things have happened in my life.

Most importantly, I became engaged on November 20th to the love of my life and my best friend, Allison. She and I have so far had a wonderful time planning our wedding, which will be for December 27, 2008. I can’t wait, although I’m somewhat annoyed that this has to be a leap year–I mean, we already have long enough to wait, so why the extra day?

Oh, well…

Also, Nebraska fired football coach Bill Callahan and hired Bo Pelini. I don’t have much to say except that I was wanting this to happen four years ago when I took part in chanting, “We want Bo!” at the Alamo Bowl when Bo’s Huskers beat the Michigan State Spartans 17-3. This is of secondary importance to my engagement–and I want to make that very clear–but I am also very excited about the new staff.

Well, that about sums it up, so now I can get started writing more typical blog posts, which I will begin with this story: apparently, a set of twins were separated at birth without any knowledge of the other twin. Later in life, they met, felt an “inevitable attraction,” and got married. At first I thought this was funny, then I thought it was gross, but now I just think that it is extremely sad. I can imagine few things more traumatic than this.
