Wow, it really has been some time since I've updated. So I'll try to fill you in on everything that's changed.
The equinox came and went rather uneventfully. Due mostly in part to the timing, I chose not to host a celebration of the changing of the seasons this year. To be honest, I don't know if I even would have held one regardless since I don't know who I would invite that would be interested in coming over. I can only think of maybe 3-4 people I would ask--and they may or may not show up. MOVING ON
During what the college folks refer to as Spring Break, I flew down to Jamaica for five days. Yep, Jamaica--Bob Marley, gange, jerk chicken--the same. I was not all that impressed. The country (from what we saw) relies very heavily on tourism, which only depressed me seeing the state of some of the homes. That and the fact that people were trying to sell me weed twice every block if I left the hotel led to me not enjoying myself so much. I told many people when I got back that I would have much rather spent the time relaxing here in Eau Claire or camping in the woods.
Most recently Chase and I attended an orchestral concert in Minneapolis. All of the music they played was from the Final Fantasy video game series, which was orchestrated by Nobuo Uematsu. Due to a mistake in reading the ticket we showed up a half hour into the show, but still got to hear many classic songs from the series. Of particular interest was that Nobuo was at the concert as well! Very cool.
