Lots of car issues, eh?&#8221;  Yes.<\/p>\n<p>Let us now discuss some of these factors.  Or, just let me.<\/p>\n<p><b>Serbian Band<\/b><br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been drumming for a Serbian band, playing Serbian pop and folk music with more electric instrumentation (it&#8217;s pretty sweet, I&#8217;m the token non-Serbian).  I&#8217;ve planned the Tour around gigs with the Serbian band; I&#8217;ll hit Omaha (or sometimes KC) just in time for gigs, then launch on the next Leaf.  Again, pretty sweet.<\/p>\n<p><b>My Grandmother<\/b><br \/>\nis great.  When I got back from Korea she wanted to go eat Korean food with me, since I had been extolling the virtues of delicious Korean food.  This has not yet happened.  It shall and it must.<\/p>\n<p><b>My 10-year High School Reunion<\/b><br \/>\nis this weekend.  In Omaha.  I really ought to go to it.  I had a small graduating class of 36 and was quite close with many of them, and friendly with the rest.  It shall be a two-day extravanganza, with feasting on Italian food and recreating at Mahoney State Park and who knows what else.  I am going to go and enjoy my friends and avoid reflecting on how old I am and all the things I haven&#8217;t accomplished yet.  Sound good?<\/p>\n<p><b>My car<\/b><br \/>\nUntil now, faithful blog readers, I have remained mute on the subject of my car.  This is because my car is awesome and deserves its own post.<\/p>\n<p>NEXT POST: my car.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those of you who are super attentive have probably noticed already: the departure date has been shifting back.
