boy, it's been a while since i've posted on my blog here, probably due to my inactivity all around in general. i've really stopped doing a lot of network-intensive activities. i'm settling down to a non-exploitive experience. there's reall nothing much one can do in iowa winter, if he doesn't have a snowmobile that is. i know my friends and neighbors are just about as fed up with winter as i am, soi i know i'm not alone in my depressed state.
