Not really sure who this guy is, but we got Andrew to pose for a picture with him.
We are back from a short vacation with my parents at the Outer Banks and right into wedding stuff. Charity and Andrew are getting married this Sunday, so we’ve been celebrating. Katie and I are actually going to be photographing their wedding, which is exciting since it’s our first try. I’m actually in the wedding as well as a groomsman for Andrew.
We had a bachelor party of sorts for Andrew last night at Dallas’s home in downtown Lynchburg. Dallas provided readings from Ovid and G.K. Chesterton on marriage and fine beverages. Tonight we are going to Roanoke for a midnight showing of Army of Darkness. Random.
I really love this weather! Summer rains are nice.
I finished reading The Dark Knight Returns over vacation and really enjoyed it. Miller is genius for showing an aged Batman. My favorite line of the novel:
“Lying on this street shaking in deep shock—dying for no reason at all—they showed me that the world only makes sense when you force it to”
Yesterday, we made a day trip to Key West since it is only about four hours away. This was my first time in the Keys. Lots of Hemingway stuff, which was neat. In fact, we visited his home on the island.
This was in his living room. Definitely reminiscent of The Sun Also Rises.
Enjoyed lunch at Sloppy Joes.
Spent most of yesterday on 95. Stopped for the night a few hours away. Checked in around 4 today. I love being in Florida. I love the cool breezes and the palm trees blowing in them. Exciting adventures to come. Here’s a view from the balcony.
Graduation was pretty fun yesterday. A bit too political. Ben Stein generally lacked humor and tact. Nonetheless, it was great celebrating the past two years, especially with friends and family. I’ve really enjoyed being an English GSA.
My thesis chair Dr. Yaw. Such a brilliant man. He really stuck up for me & my topic.
Most of the graduation English GSA’s.
Blue skies and beautiful weather for the day.
