Long time, no blog

I've been on the road and moving for most of the last couple of weeks, and so I'll just have to give a thumbnail sketch of what I've been up to:

July 13--Drove to Nashville, tried to find a way around a road closed for an accident and ended up driving around on one-lane gravel roads in the Cherokee National Forest for 45 minutes before returning to where I had started to find that the accident had been cleared.

July 15--Removed shrubs from my parents' yard with my dad. 

July 16--Went to the wedding of some friends who had been best friends for 15 years before finally starting dating six months ago.

July 17--Started a road trip with Boone, always a risky adventure.  Ports of call included the Super Museum in Metropolis, IL; the lowest point in Illinois (the confluence of the Ohio and the Mississippi rivers); the highest point in Missouri.  Boone forgot his sleeping bag and so he slept in the car to get away from the mosquitos.

July 18--Up early after probably my best night of sleep camping, and we made it to the lowest point in Missouri by 8:30 AM, but then we failed to reach the lowest point in Kentucky (i don't want to talk about it.).  Hit Reelfoot Lake and the Eiffel Tower in Paris, Tennessee on the way back.

July 19--Drove back to Chapel Hill.  Added 45 new counties on the trip total.

July 23--Said good-bye to my friend Jeff as I started moving into his apartment.

July 24-26--Painted my new room.
