Home cookin'

Jason and Leslie's wedding on Saturday was great fun (except the minor fender-bender when some random guy in the parking lot backed up into Andrew's car... ugh!). I enjoyed seeing some of my Carolina friends -- Mike, Andrew and his wife Beth, Melanie and her boyfriend Dave, Kristen, Caroline, and of course Jason and Leslie. The ceremony was held at First Presbyterian Church in Durham, and the reception was at the N.C. Museum of History in Raleigh. I got to spend Sat. night with Mike & Kendra in Mebane, and then we joined Charles and Mom and Dad at Hope Church in Raleigh Sunday morning. I received some cool gifts (shirts, the 2nd season of the Cosby show on DVD, a guidebook to Guatemala, and the 2007 Rand McNally road atlas). Today and tomorrow I'm visiting with my parents. Tonight we're having ham, collards, white potatoes, sweet potato fluff, and cornbread. Mmmmm.

Last weekend, SoM hosted ten prospective graduate students, and fortunately I was able to join them in Thursday and Friday's activites. The storms anticipated for the weekend panned out about as expected, I guess, with several tornadoes reported in the TX panhandle and southwest Kansas. Western Oklahoma, once again, largely missed out on this event. More storms are possible on Wednesday, but with the same concerns for surface instability (due to marginal moisture return from the GoM). Stay tuned, this year could be active early!
