Ladies and Gentlemen, as of 8:30 this morning it is official: I have completed and passed all necessary work to recieve a Master of Education Degree in Curriculum and Instruction (Technology).
Thank you. Thank you. There will be refreshments in the lobby.
I will not attempt to describe the tribulation this program has caused over the past two years for an active, outdoorsy person such as myself, nor the havoc it has wrought upon my bowhunting, rock-climbing, back-packing, and thowing-sticks-for-the-dog careers. It is too horrifying to put into words.
But no matter. It is over. Done. I never have to do this again.
The following video perfectly captures my feelings concerning this triumph over the nefarious forces of Acadamia: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGa70tVYVKo
The world is shiney and new again. Real life awaits. Bring on the mountains. Bring on the world. Bring on the baby. I'm ready.

The Modern World is a Very, Very Stupid Place
I am not a big fan of McMansions. You know, those enormous, pointless eyesores that rich people stick on top of hills. Unless these people sincerely enjoy living on windswept, barren sagebrush flats, there is only one reason to put a home on top of a ridge line: To show the world how much richer they are than everyone else.
None of which would bother me in the slightest--live and let live--except that from a distance these monstrosities look like giant zits on the face of Wyoming. They really mess up the view. They make me want to look for rocket launchers on ebay.*
While I'm on a curmudgeonly tirade, did you ever notice how many of those houses have garages that are even bigger than the house? It is a very messed up society where we give our cars more spacious accommodations than ourselves. That's all I'm sayin'.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. Now, back outside to finish pumping water out of a big hole in the ground, so I can repair the big piece of rubber we put in there so the hole will hold water. At least something makes sense in my world.
*For any DHS personel who might be reading this post, the preceding statement was a joke. Mostly.
