New Post TWO~~

Hey all,

I'm not really going to post anything awesome, but listen to this: Instead of riding the appalcart I've been taking some time to really explore Boone in the Fall. I know back in my hallowed days at the Grove City College (I can say that now because I don't work there...wait...), one of the best pieces of advice that anyone ever gave me was this: Do not get so absorbed in your work, making friends, being awesome that you miss the Fall season at Grove City. I absolutely paid no attention to that advice until about junior year, when I realized that Grove City may acually be the most beautifully landscaped campus within 500 miles of Grove City, PA. Since then I never took Fall for granted, and subsequently have tried my best not to let Fall pass me by here in the High Country. So for those wondering what I've been doing with my down time in graduate school...I've been keeping a close eye on the Fall.

and this one...

and let's not forget this stuff...

and how about this...

oh and you wanted to see Grandfather Mountain? The highest peak in North Carloina? Here you go friends!

Alright, Ansell Adams I am not, but I hope that these pictures do give you a good idea of what every day of my life is like here in Boone. The wonders of Fall haven't fallen on distracted eyes again...it really is amazing to take in the area around me and also to take time to just chill out and enjoy Creation. I still haven't ridden the appalcart since my riveting adventure with Seth. But ask yourself this...would you rather be on a bus listening to Betty Jo Socialite blabbing away about how many beers she and Football Jim Jethro bonged together, or would you rather be living life where two dimensions (even an inspiring two dimensions) still fail to capture the wonder of living? I know where I'd rather be.
