o brother where art thou

(the title has NOTHING to do with this post)

first of all. this post is the 108th i've done. i guess it ought to be considered a milestone since my 105th passed by without any fanfare. how sad.

second, this blog will be quiet for awhile. the author is running around in NC. falling down mountains, taking pictures, seeing snakes, eating real meals (it feels strange to be home for dinner every night!) and all that stuff. not much time for blogging.

BUT since my fam never hears much from me when i am on trips (it slightly annoys them. i'm trying to do better) and they always want to know everything but i never remember and they don't understand half my pics...beks and i came up with the idea of doing a tripbloggish thing to keep them updated. (another milestone. that's got to be the WORST and longest run-on sentance in the universe) or at least slightly more updated than my short weekend phone calls and one sentance emails.

so if you get bored enough you can go check it out. it might be interesting. most likely not. www.merryandpip.blogspot.com
and please tell us who ralph is. we don't know a ralph....
out.
sorry if this is jumbled. or doesn't make sense. i'm talking to beks and looking at mountains while writing.
