Small Talk

Let me tell ya... this whole "personal networking" is gonna drive me crazy.

I'm not really good at writing letters... or notes... or phone calls... or... well, I'm not very good at keeping in contact period.
Ok.
To say I'm "not very good at it" is kinda like saying "Casper is a little pale."

I downright suck at it.

I'm not good at small talk. I can write about research that I've done, things I've learned or experienced, and all that *waves hands around* lofty, conceptual stuff. I can do that easily. But to engage in talk about simple, mundane, daily life... is so incredibly tedious that it takes me hOUrs... and I end up playing games instead.

But... here's the latest update from the household...

The juvenile hens are almost mature and laying... the chicks are now juveniles.
The goose is still an ass... and the rooster is starting to get a little plucky.
The garden is doing well... the first run of peas are almost ready to be replaced... the strawberries are running amok... and the tomatoes are bushing well.

I'm almost ready to start teaching classes... the kids are fine... David's still David (I don't think he'll ever be fine or ok)...

Yeah... I suck at this.
