Once you have stopped blogging for some time, it is so difficult to get back in the groove. It seems so much easier to write when there's only a week worth of stuff to report, but when you allow six months to elapse without writing anything, it just seems like an impossible task. But as Mrs. Palmer reminded me, if I don't write it while i…

It's been incredibly long since I updated my blog, and the longer I wait, the more daunting the task seems to grow. So much has happened in the past few months, and I can without a doubt say …

Shirley Franks Alan, Great blog about the paintball buck party but we want to hear about your trip to the capitol for your scholar's conference. And did you see any dignitaries when the World Conference was in Sydney? Also we want to hear more about how your film project is going. Blog! Blog! Blog! When we don't hear from you we feel as if we're missing out.

Ann Jones I have the best time reading your adventures. I can just see our shy little Alan with this Luigi fellow! I have told everyone that you're blog is the best. Keep up the work! Charles Boohaker and I are now officially Godparents to Mark Berry's baby boy, James Stephen. It was a beautiful ceremony at the Cathedral downtown. And Charles is asking about hot chicks - as if! Happy Birthday!

Gayle Glenn Love all the information that you are sharing and the folks you are meeting...how incredible!!!! What a wonderful opportunity. Hard word, tenacity, imagination ...oh the places you'll go and the people you'll meet and the things you will see. Sounds like Dr. Seuss to me. I remember a small boy with a large imagination and what fun it has been to watch you grow and explore. Keep up the great fun work. You are doing lots of great networking...It is a small world and getting smaller it seems! Kirk and Lucy enjoyed your pics and blogs!

Sonya Humber Ginny kept telling me that she would get me your blog address, but that never happened. So when I saw the link on her blog, I had to look you up. Your blog is great. Good writing is hard work, but keep it up for our sakes. I am so proud of you for jumping right out there and doing all the things the rest of us are just to comfortable in our own places to do. Who knows? Maybe you'll inspire more world travelers. Keep having a great time and telling us about it.

Leah Franks OK, I am starting to think that Brian and I are the only people you haven't called =p Just teasing...we are faithfully reading your blog though. It is so interesting to us and we love the pictures!

Ginny Humber I am sorry, but I am still laughing about your going-to-church ordeal. That is probably a bit my fault for keeping you on the phone for two and a half hours. It sounds like you stayed positive through the whole thing though. I probably would have just sat down in the rain and cried. You are on the other side of the world from me! That's weird. Well, keep reading my blog and I'll keep reading yours. I enjoy your adventures!
