I’m back home from my trip back down to Dallas, and am pleased to report that things in The Big D have largely been following the same path of awesome improvement and progression that I have found myself on since I returned to Iowa three years ago. I won’t rehash the details here of my former residency in Dallas–suffice it to say that things were in a bit of a state of disarray when I left. I will admit to some apprehension about returning to a place that had been such a large source of chaos and anger in the past. I wasn’t sure what kind of charred, radioactive landscape populated by grotesque, shambling mutants had emerged from the fallout of previous events. However, as I mentioned, since I left there has been only growth and renovation, leaving nary a crackling blip on the Geiger counter. All is well, and I’m officially stamping the manila file folder that contains the records of that previous time with a giant, red [CLOSED].

Look! A video!
