im throwing around some ideas as to when i could visit TN and so far, the one i like best is early/late october, maybe to see the leaves change? of course, ill have to check in with the family first. still i dont want to wait too long before i start looking for work. more than 2 months and i will have forgotten everything. in the back of my mind, i think that if i do decide to continue working in a call center, i will apply where sandra and dave secured their lucrative positions. and not just because of the money! but because i would love to work with them again.

ever see that show 'good eats' on food network? alton brown is such a fanatic about food and the science behind cooking etc. last night he made beef jerky and i absolutely want to try it. maybe em and chris and i could make some together? wouldnt that be a bonding experience. jerky for dinner and cake for dessert.
