In a long discussion that eventually turned to Michael Moore (he sucks, confirm/deny) and politics I and others as well witnessed a strange thing. Kyle Poorman—local pacifist and all around good guy—exploded into a huge rant, something far out of character for him. At the same time I was not even remotely angry; fairly out of character for me as well.

Do you ever get a strange chill that starts somewhere and then rushes all through your body? It’s an interesting sensation. I assume that the feeling is caused by some kind of physiological action, but I don’t know what. After all, a thought can cause some part of your body to shiver, or feel strange or cold. How? Then, the feeling rushes through the rest of you, from your head all the way down to your toes.
Of course its just an assumption that everyone experiences something similar from time to time, but it seems a valid one.
I saw most of my dad’s side of the family at our annual Christmas gathering in Remsen yesterday. There are so many kids now. There have to be at least thirty grandchildren, though I don’t have an exact count. The oldest is around 27 or 28, and the youngest only a few weeks old. Still no great-grandchildren though.

I hope everyone had a good Christmas
I saw Dr. Pate in church this morning. Our conversation went something like this:
Me: Merry Christmas, Dr. Pate.
Dr. Pate: Oh, hey Steve. Guess we can have a meeting now.
Me: NO!

The Baumhover Christmas gathering was last night, and I was once again reminded that much of my family keeps tabs on this web site. I’ll take this time to say hi to all of them, especially Doug, since he asked me to put his name up here.
Thanks also to Jolene. I now have a pair of needle nose pliers, and Bruce Springsteen is in the CD player right now.

This page still needs a lot of work before it’ll work properly.
So much inconsistency.

I threw together a new design over the past few days. The archives are somewhat broken in IE for Windows, due to content that is too wide for the window. I’ll figure something out though. The photographs section hasn’t
been reformatted yet either.
Either way I need to get going, I should be headed to Sam Miller’s graduation party already.

Christmas shopping is finished. I may have set a personal record, since I’m usually in the store on Christmas Eve trying to finish up. Not this year, though.

After a long twelve hours on campus, I am mere hours from finishing my last final exam. I have very nearly completed Problem 1, thoroughly beaten Problems 2 and 3, and am so close to finishing Problem 4 that I can almost taste victory.
But really, this test is nowhere near the cluster-fuck that the last fluids exam was. I have already completed more of this test with 16 hours to spare than I did the first when I handed it in.

My dad helped me put a new battery in the Taurus, and now it cranks faster than it has in a long time. I am back in business and back on the streets. Watch out.
