hello goodbye
Today has been full of moments of lucidity and clarity on and off, coupled with a bland numbness that overtakes my whole body. I find that I have a lot to say and then can't remember any of it. But maybe, just maybe, this lucidity will grow as my departure approaches.

So... welcome to the blog's new location. In a few weeks, Schoolgirl Sophistry will be getting a facelift... complete with a new layout, et cetera. For the time being, however, everything will have to remain at rest. Micah, Rachel, Justin and I are leaving for Glacier National Park tonight with a brief respite in Portland before the brunt of the drive. Unlike last year, I WILL NOT be posting frequent updates from the park but I WILL be taking plent of photos and probably even video of the fire. If I do take the chance to post, it will be via a brief long distance call.

I won't be back until Labor Day, 9/1.

It's just gonna be me and the boy with good friends, good wine, good food and FABULOUS hiking.

And so, for your amusement (and mine) I leave you with what Googlism has to say about my name. Simple truths and absurdities:
