hushed gray: the Kevin chronicles

In the words of Staind
"It's been awhile"...since I updated my journal, as I'm sure you've noticed, faithful reader. The busy-ness of the weeks leading up to the Feast of Unleavened Bread really was nothing compared to the last two weeks. I feel like maybe things are finally starting to slow down a little bit, but something will probably come up to change my mind about that.

The biggest news from the weekend is that I delivered my first sermonette yesterday. To say I was nervous would be very accurate, but I thought it went pretty well overall considering that it was uncharted waters for me. While I have no way of knowing whether there'll be others, I'm glad to have that first one out of the way!

My folks and Crystal came down for the weekend, lended some moral support. We ate out a number of times and now about all I want to do is sleep. They had a tire start going down on the drive down Friday, and by the time we got done with dinner Friday night it was about as flat as could be. Daddy got the tire changed yesterday evening just before the rains moved in, and this morning we took their car to a tire shop to get a new shoe put on it. Last night Devon joined the rest of us at the hotel where my folks stayed and we played Clue and Beyond Balderdash.

UB absolutely flew past this year. I'm used to that sort of thing happening with the Feast of Tabernacles, but not so much UB. It was one of those deals where I wouldn't have minded if it had gone on for another week despite my fatigue level.

Over the past month I've received trading requests from half-a-dozen other collectors through my Web site, including individuals in Chile and Norway. Those are arguably some of the "coolest" simply because they're exotic. Other than filling those trades, though, I've done next to nothing with my stamp collection. I did soak a paper towel full of stamps on Friday afternoon, but that's the first time I've touched the things in weeks.

I think that covers the biggest of the highlights, so I'm either going to take care of some more e-mail or try to catch a short nap before work. Later dudes.
