I will give a shout out.

So I'm trying to ease my way back into consistent bloggery (hence the single blog last week). At some point, I'd like to be at a place where I'm writing three solid blogs per week like I did this past summer. That place may be this upcoming summer, but if I can get that ball rolling now, it'll be easier to manage when it comes upon a greased-up decline.

All that to say: I'm hoping to write two to three short blogs per week until the new year starts, considering of course that two of the three remaining Fridays are relatively important holidays.

At any rate, this blog is about Spencer. Some of you (Ha!) may remember Spencer from his inaugural appearance at this year's Pig Pickin'. He was the Asian one.

Or you may have met Spencer on EBay if you have any interest in Jeff Bagwell baseball cards.

Spencer was one of my most consistent friends during college and is now one of the half dozen or so that I like to keep in touch with. One of the things that this touchiness has revealed is that Spencer has become/is becoming a stand-up comic.

Over the weekend, Spencer sent me the following video that he posted in preparation for his appearance at the NC Comedy Arts Festival:

I'm planning on going to that festival, but this was the first time I was able to see Spencer perform (comedy), and I thought it was pretty good for what he's labeled as his '"formative' era." Easily my favorite joke was the one about slacker PEDs. That reminded me of a blog I've been planning on writing since...well, probably since I've started blogging.

It seems like this would be a good time to write that blog. But, I'm on winter break, so...

Event of the Week:

UNC-W final grades are due today at 2 p.m. Fortunately, I had 118 of my 122 grades submitted by Friday, which allowed me to fully enjoy this weekend's 5^th annual Sherrick Santa Ski. I submitted the other four grades this morning because I was waiting on final essays from those four students. Some of them turned them in.
