Home again, home again...
I'm not going to finish that one.
I am home, I am alive. Much more could not be said - at least not truthfully. And we're all about truth here at "Life is Like a Safari". Truth be told (there we go again), sometimes, the truth doesn't make for very interesting posts. We realize this, but it's just part of our policy. Sorry. We can recommend some blogs that sacrifice truth for interesting subject material, if you're interested.
Tennessee lost their bowl game, 20-10 against Penn State. We were a better team at the beginning of the year, but we really fell apart as the year went on. Sad, but true. On the other hand, Indianapolis (I hear) won their first playoff game, so if they can win their next two games, they'll be in the Super Bowl at long last. I'm not getting myself too awfully excited just yet. =P
The kitchen, such as it is, is nice. Of course, on the surface, one would wonder if we were out of our minds, given that when we left the house, there was not a single thing in our kitchen that was broken, not working, or otherwise unacceptable. Now, the countertops don't stick to the counters like they should, the dishwasher and new sink aren't working, there's damage to the kitchen floor, and dozens of smaller issues with the installation of the cabinets itself. I have faith that it will all get sorted out, mais ou menos, in the reasonably near future. But for the time being, when it's hard to find a clean drinking glass, and even harder to wash a dirty one, one begins to wonder what one was thinking about wanting a 'new' kitchen.
I took around 3000 pictures and movies on this trip. I have not even begun to sort through them, but I imagine I'll get to that within the next few days. As it is, I have a couple of more pressing issues to attend to, and hopefully those issues will go well. Consistent, constant internet access would be awfully helpful in those endeavors. Pray.
I hope everyone is well, and everyone is enjoying the new year. I know that Virginians are breathing easier, now that their license plates are no longer big, fat lies. If you don't know what I'm talking about - ask a Virginian.
....OK, ask a Virginian that DRIVES. Smart aleck.
