This post is not about sports, but man the Mavericks are playing awesome right now!

Ironically, my last post references the "history in the making" event of two post appearing on simulataneous days on my blog. And here I am a month later, postless and maybe forgotten...

Here's what you've missed: nothing. I spent the last three weeks digging myself a hole in the HUGSR library and not coming out except for a couple hours of sleep each night. You may think I am exaggerating, but in fact, every other night, I would go to bed at three and wake up at five, so "couple" is no misnomer. Well, I did come out a couple times to make some caffeine runs with my buddy Charles Kiser, but those weren't always productive. Like the time we went to Starbucks, and I called Jesse about something. She thought I was calling to get her something while I was there, and when I didn't... well, let's say it was productive in that I learned something about being an idiot. Namely, I have an unusual ability to be one.

This talent has been manifesting itself in many ways lately. For example, the exegetical paper for which I dug that hole? Yeah. I turned it in four days late, in part because I failed to take into account that there was a page limit: 13-17 double spaced. Unfortunately, my first draft was about 22 pages, single spaced! That's right, my first draft was 34 pages double spaced. So, I spend the next 12 hours cutting my paper in half. I'm not sure how much time I wasted needlessly on that silly paper, but I think my wife has it down to seconds.

Well, all that idiot stuff is behind me now. With a new season beginning, I am filled with hope about what might be. I might not be as much of an idiot this summer. I might actually put down the X-Box controller and write some thank you notes. I might not blog about sports next time either. In fact, I'm thinking of trying a little something different, but I'd like to take a poll. I have this great little story (based on real events) that I'd like to write. I was thinking about posting it in sections on my blog. Anyone interested? It doesn't really matter, because I'm going to do it anyways, but I welcome any encouragement my faithful reader(s) would like to give. My next post will begin the story, and I hope to post one "chapter" per week until I run out of material.

Two final thoughts: I love my wife, and yes, it rained on our honeymoon.
