I had a good time on vacation this week. It was tiring trying to get everywhere I wanted to go and see everything I wanted to see, but I really enjoy that. There’s something about the adventure that really makes me feel alive. Plus, getting out and seeing the larger world really puts my problems in perspective. Let’s face it, when you’re standing in the “Bloody Lane” at Antietam, where over 5000 men died in just about 4 hours of fighting, it’s pretty easy to see that the things I worry about day-to-day aren’t quite as all-important as I might have thought previously.

Speaking of pictures, Angela posted the picture she had to take of me today, sporting the surprise I had for her when I got home. It’s been a long time since I sported a look with no facial hair. 🙂
