Preview of Capt Caf's New Episode

Things have gotten to the point where all you Capt Caf fans have waited for: another episode to the daily workings of our wonderful superhero. I promise that I have already worked on writing the next short and that it should be up soon.

Here's a little teaser to keep you interested: Capt Caf's heart is tested time and again as many hunters set traps, snares and pitfalls for our hero. Can she make it through them all and survive? Will she eventually rejoin the human race by my hand? You must read the story to find out.

Ushering in a New Phase

So to the faithful who have checked my blog for updates recently, I must apologize for my slothful approach to sharing my thoughts with you.

I have started a new-ish life in Utah, and even though I have been very cold and somewhat disjointed, I find that I am enjoying being here. I never planned nor wanted to live in Utah for many reasons: it's landlocked where I've spent the majority of my life living near the ocean, it's a desert where I've only lived in humid places, I don't know how to say this without it being misconstrued so... there are a lot more white people here than what I've grown accustomed to these last four years, and frankly, I'm not terribly closer to my family living here.

Well, despite my earlier complaints and misgivings about this area, it's beginning to grow on me. I've started noticing the beauty of the sunsets as I leave work and see the purples, pinks and oranges coloring the mountains. Even though the drivers here scare me most of the time, I'm beginning to enjoy exploring the towns from the vantage point behind the wheel of a car. I'm even enjoying being around students again.

I really am doing well down here. I'm happy where I'm at, and I'm even beginning to get the hang of my new job. It amazes me how after all the pieces are picked up and thrown all over the place how well they manage to fit back together once the turmoil comes to an end.
