Dropped off my last rent check this week and thus concludes the first and last year of independent living. At the same time, though, I suppose living with someone doesn't dictate a level of dependence; maybe more a pooling of resources and certainly the desire to share one another's company. I'll admit it's not the way I imagined things working out between us, but that's like the lesson of my life: regardless of expectations, planning and organizing, life sorta takes its own course. Probably in spite. I don't know. But, I'm certainly not complaining.

Meanwhile, another "sex scandal" at the Air Force Academy. Looks like the media has finally picked up on the public's insatiable appetite for insider stories on cadet sex life with the publication of a story involving the investigation of a 22-year-old college senior for arranging sex parties in the area, which leads me to question where the "scandal" part comes in. I mean -- unless other information becomes available -- since when did the sexual activity of consenting adults become fodder for public scrutiny? Oh wait, I forgot, we live in America.
