Reporting from a very quiet house on a Friday afternoon. A molecule of tridecane has been caught raiding the authors desk.

Hey! Stop! It’s heading for the door! I need those flashcards for my next Organic Quiz!

Don’t worry. The treacherous molecule was captured, cracked into some smaller pieces (two C4H10s and a C3H8) , and readily combusted back into its box.

On the other side of the house, jackals sleep on the deck, unaware of my presence…

Ah, the author is not as inconspicuous as she thought…

Anyways, if you are wondering where I’ve been, and are waiting ready with an al dente noodle ready to whack me for not posting in too long….well, I deserve it. But, I’ve been busy as all high heck. Some recent happenings:

• “Learned” how to drive a stick shift and made it to TCU and back without creating any major havoc.
• Started learning guitar, developed tiny callus on my left index finger.
• Made about fifty million flashcards
• Helped Angelo make an “All About Me” poster for school; featuring the jackals, him opening the fridge, and his plan for being a steam engine driver man when he gets older
• New neighbors moved in after the house across the street was shown to everyone in Fort Worth and their grandmother; the jury is still out.
• Watched Brise for two hours to make sure she didn’t collapse of chicken-bone-eating complications. This was between the hours of ten and midnight, of course.
• Realized taking 17 hours is ridiculous. Dropped Chinese. Felt a little sad.
• Made it through the second week of classes: still on target. Success.
