IMPORTANT DEBATE NEWS: Blake and Conor have broken at the N-D-MFing-T. This is about the best that a debate team can possibly do in college, and I am overwhelmingly proud of them.

I hope everyone had a happy Zombie Jesus Day. I hung out with Grandma and some of the rest of the family. Probably one of the most important things that will happen this year happened on the 28th of February, and its closeness in time has distorted how much it has affected me. My grandfather, William R. Dickinson, passed away at the age of 75. Suffice it to say that he was the person in my family that I most wanted to inherit genes from, and I haven't cried like I did before the funeral since Rosie. I love him a lot, and I really miss him. I, of course, was not married to him for not-quite 50 years, so I feel really bad for Grandma. I get the feeling that she's being strong because she doesn't really know how else to be, and I can't fathom what's going on in her head. Mom too, has been taking this pretty hard. March has not been a pleasant month.

I'm a big fan of cheese. I think that the most common craving I have is for the little cubes of Swiss they have on cheese platters.
