Howdy from the Cowboy

"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven..." ~Ecc. 3:1

Laying dormant for 7 months, the season has come once again to revive the Admissions Adventure Blog. Allow me to be the first since, well, I'm the only one on the road right now!

Firstly, I'd like to tell you about Jessica.

I met her on the plane. She was sitting right next to me. How was I to know she was from Oregon as well? What a lovely coincidence! So Jessica and I talked. Not the whole time, but enough to have built some surface level rapport with each other. She happens to be from West Linn of all places. Long story short, we will be keeping in touch upon my return and hers. I think I will be enjoying this new travel season...

Now for the real story. Jessica sat next to me. She is a 7th grader. She lives in Davis, CA. I have no contact info nor do I care to (except perhaps to woo her to Corban). Sorry. Couldn't resist deceiving all or some of you if only for a moment. =D

I will say that I'm regretting the choice to leave my camera behind. I got to catch the last day of the "Gold Rush" in Old Sacramento. Oh how it made the little boy yearning to be a cowboy inside me happy! Several people were dressed from the period, despite it being 80-90 degrees, and they had little tents set up with old fashioned gambling games, dress-sewing, wood/metal/leather works, and even a fakey old-time doc. I walked around with a cheezy half grin on my face for quite some time. I even thought about buying a cowboy hat. Might still do that. Oh how lovely.

The only other news is that I am driving a little white Ford Focus and am feeling pretty special because it's got "the works". I have programmed my phone into the car (thanks Stefan...oops I mean "Cottonball"), I have a sun roof, and I can even change the color of the light by my feet for just the right ambience for me and...myself. Nothing new to me of course, since I had the same car in silver last year, but since I mastered the Bluetooth I thought I'd share about it this year. =)

Wishing you all a wonderful week, sorrowful about missing the farewell party and the welcoming party for the new "Little One", and praying that God would be honored in all I do these weeks, granting me success along the way.
