I Be Home!
My vacation hath ended. And, though I didn’t expect it to be, it turned out to be a good one. I left off with my tale of the whole thing about a week ago, after I’d been whitewater rafting. That was a Monday. Tuesday was an uneventful day of fishing and various other things, and Wednesday and Thursday were spent driving north to Montana, where my new aunt’s family lives. We stayed the night in Casper, Wyoming, and we drove through Grand Teton National Park on Thursday. It was pretty. I’ll post pictures later. The main part of the day, however, was spent in Yellowstone National Park, only a few miles north of Grand Teton. Though I was only there for a few hours, I got to see Old Faithful erupt. (It is not so faithful: eruptions can be 40 minutes to two hours apart from one another.)
Okay, I’m losing the will to keep going. The main thing is that I’m home now. And I will “rejoice and be glad in it,” to quote a popular congregational response from church. It did suck that there were power outages when we arrived, however. But it seems now that that has all been cleared up. So now all I have to deal with is the painful reminder that there are only 40 days before school starts, and I have lots to do still. A list:

Update
Slight adjustments to the master stylesheet have been made. The sidebar has been cleaned up, and new styles for definition lists (like above) have been added.
Another Update
The stylesheet was tweaked for Internet Explorer compliance. I must reiterate that this website, and most others look much better in Firefox.
