Well, it's been forever, and I'm still here. Kinda at least.

Well, I will be moving to the DC area in November, and I'm looking forward to it. The job looks cool, and the area seems pretty nice. I'm not quite sure what my living conditions are going to be like, but it can't be bad.

Well, I've finally made it to Augusta. I'm trying to unpack, and it's annoying as hell. There are boxes everywhere. I don't know the area very well, but I've found a couple of possible hangouts.

It's Christmas.

It doesn't really feel like Christmas.

To me, Christmas is family, Christmas is presents, the birth of Jesus, that kind of stuff.

This year, Christmas is just another day. It is not the first time this has happened, but hopefully its the last. I'm sitting, alone, in a trailer in the middle of thousands of trailers just like this one, in the middle...
