I’m going home tomorrow night! I haven’t seen the folks since the beginning of June. Noah’s changed so much since then. This’ll be their first time seeing him crawl, pull himself up, eat real food, etc. They’ll really get a kick out of seeing him. Perhaps Jalen will get to go; I’ll talk with his mom tonight. Right now I need to go gas up and get the oil changed before sundown. I need to pick up something for dinner too. Do I have time to squeeze in a game or two of hoops as well? Perhaps so, if I get off the computer.
I wish I were starting school over. I’d major in something like English, or History, or Computer Science. I’d love to design websites, and maintain something like LCGchat or Blogger.com. Another area that interests me is forensics. Why did my alma mater wait until this year to start its Forensic Science program? I don’t want to be out at crime scenes or anything like that – I’d be content doing the lab workups. That’s an avenue that’s still open to me, but I feel somewhat obligated to continue working in cotton, as that’s what’s paying the bills and putting me through school. We’ll see.
I’m looking forward to services tomorrow. The Winnails (Scott & fam) are coming down again. Nick and their son hit it off pretty well, so he’s excited too. We were double excited to find out they’re gonna be in Jamaica too. Dr. Winnail always delivers heartfelt sermons, and it’s sorta cool seeing someone under the age of 75 at the podium. (Just kidding old timers!!!) I remember when Mike Elertson visited us before moving to Canada – I thought he and his wife were a just a visiting couple; I had no idea there were ministers in my age group! That’s not completely true; I did know about Rod McNair, but I’d forgotten about him.
Shonta’s making a low-carb cheesecake for the pot-“success” (thanks, Mr. Bardo) tomorrow. We’ll head out for the old homestead that evening and stay until Monday. That way there’s no fussing from my mom about us spending all day Saturday in Charlotte or Walterboro.
SNAP!!! I was just informed that the abstract for the Plant & Animal Genomes Conference is due today. I guess I need to come up with one ASAP if I want to go to San Diego in January. See yall!

I've always thought forensics would be cool, too. Although it also seems like it could be fairly depressing and morose. But it sure would fuel the child detective in all of us :)
Hey Mike, how was the trip home? Hope everything went smoothly and y'all had a nice visit with family. Tell the Mrs. and boys we say hello. See ya Thursday.
