The first thing I want to say is, "sorry." It's been busy.

Finals are over as of today. I've gotta check on one grade. If I passed my frikkin' weather class, I'll be walking Saturday. If not, I'll have one more class standing between me and a bachelor's degree. As you can imagine, school has taken up most of my time since my last entry. But so have...

Firefighting. We've been busy with some interesting and demanding runs... a couple of which are journal worthy.

Job hunting. I've taken the fire department civil service test in two different cities and feel really good about my chances in one of them.

Fireworks. Jessie and I completed the educational requirements to shoot commerical fireworks in our state earlier this year. We've psent the last month preparing for a big display in Smallville. It went off this weekend without much of a hitch.

And a million other things... Like everything that goes along with the end of a semster, the things that go along with the potential end of a college career, several other web projects, the newspaper, creating the very first Fletch31526 mug, fire department training... And the list goes on. Of course, the notable omission from the "list of shit keeping Fletch busy" is the journal. Sorry about that. Free time is a coming... and so are journal entries.
