Update on college living

Hello, sports-fans. ((btw, Mizzou kicked Arkansas' tail, 52-20, football last Saturday). Just checking in because I realized I haven't blogged in an eternity. Sorry guys; college is just so exciting and interesting and I'm still meeting so many people that I forget to type and let people back in The Branch know how things are going.
But I think about y'all just about every day; I'm always telling funny stories about my pals and explaining the differences between Missouri and Texas weather (It's about 50 at night and 75 during the day, right now. No fall colors yet.)
To make up for my lack of desire to actually write about things going on here, I think I'll be like everyone else and put a survey about myself in my blog. Thanks, guys, for the idea! (I'm avoiding reading now anyway).
