my dividenz > yo dividenz like my mercedes benz > yo mercedes benz

I found myself back in NJ last night after being gone for a little over a week of traveling.  It wasn't horrible being back in the state of NJ but it still ain't my fav.  Here are some of my observations and experiences of the last week plus:
1. Ohio is hella flat.
2. Southern PA is quite beautiful
3. Driving is much better with someone in the car with you.
4. Bowling Green's colors are orange and brown...weird.
5. Miriam's oldest nephew Sam was quite reluctant at first to call me "Uncle" Eric when Miriam and I got engaged, even when his mother and father told him to.  His response was "they aren't married yet!" It was a good point.  We visited them while driving back to Michigan and he is now calling me "Uncle" Eric on his own with no persuasion of his parents, it's kind of cool.  He also wrote about me in his Catholic education class on a slip of paper that said (blank) is a Christian because...He wrote "Uncle Eric is a Christian because he goes to church." He's cool.  I'm cool.  Nuf said.
6. Ohio is hella flat
7. West Michigan is starting to feel like a second home.  It's a nice area, I quite like it.  Now if it only had mountains.
8. 11.5 hours of driving is tiring to say the least.

So those are somethings that happened to me.  Overall a delightful spring break, nice road trip with Miriam, good seeing her family.  Now back into school.  PTL for a trip to Upstate this weekend, it should prove quite nice.

Ah, West Michigan. . . It's definitely short on mountains. Glad to hear that you guys are still able to see eachother regularly (even though it is 11.5 hours of driving each way :) Glad to hear that you've at least passed muster with the nephews. We're looking forward to your wedding!
