So, damn xanga says I have not updated in a while. Well, they are wrong, wrong as rain. Speaking of rain…
We got are first ‘winteresque’ storm, with a dusting in the Wasatch. The skiers are allready salavating.
This weekend I went on a field trip to the world famous Book Cliffs,
near Green River, UT. This is the place that sequence
stratigraphy was invented, literally. It was an awesome
trip. Saturday was hot and clear.
Sunday was not.
Even saw some cool petroglifs, well, they were cool in places where
they were not discraced by “Frank” or “Jesus” carved next to them.
The trip was lead by Bryan Bracken, who is a really cool guy and really
helped me finally understand some of the intracacies of sequence
stratigraphy. He definately turned my head on the oil
industry. I’m not saying I’m ready sell my soul, but if the prof
thing doesn’t work out, oil would be a viable alternative. This
was certainly NOT true before the weekend. Maybe I just need to
take my brain medicine, or maybe I changed. Either way, Mr. Show,
season 4 came out on DVD today, and I’m gonna watch it.P.S. I am learning the song “Through the Darkness” by Tiger Army on my
bass. It’s a challenging song, with difficult vocal lines, vocal
rhythms, and words, and a very intracate and interesting bass line, and
I hope to have it down by xmas. That way, your requests can range
from that to Polly to Hide Your Love Away, and that’s about it (as far
as full songs).

i’m sure pat will want to head over to utah… he’s already getting excited about ski season!
I give you ZERO eProps. I’m not sure what they’re worth, but if they’re worth anything, I’d like to take some away from you for going on like you were about the oil industry. Matt, you have remained more loyal to the anti-oil than the rest of us by not driving. We were counting on you to stick to the academic life.
Polly! I remember rocking out on the guitar in your apt. to that song… or at least trying to.
Keep up the practice. We’ll jam again one day. I wish you well in your Ph.D studies. You rock (musically, geologically, and personally).
Add me to your jam list. I almost wrote Ham list…. I am practicing my guitar very soon….
little is known about Frank — the native american superhero … i’m writing a paper about all his good deeds with jesus here in america …
Oooo rain.
. Hey…pass the brain medicine, i could use some of that too.
