Hello. Welcome to my website. It started while I was in Europe for a semester, and I've kept it up since then. I'm now at the University of Chicago Law School, living in Hyde Park, and the story continues. If you want to say hi or visit me, email cfloyd at uchicago dot edu.

My nice twelve day break from the blogging is over.
In the time I've been away, plenty has happened. I finished up my first round of exams Friday with Elements of the Law. The Dow went over 10,000. My boy Jason White of the Oklahoma Sooners won the Heisman Trophy. And in The Mother of All Good News, we caught that wiener dictator Saddam in a hole in Tikrit. That put me in a good mood. I'm already planning a street party for when we get Osama. I want to be filmed celebrating on a street corner with a big flag-waving group and beamed around the world, just like those Arabs in Dearborn, Michigan were for Saddam. (see Jordan's blog for more on "that little girl.")
So now I'm home in Tulsa. It was nice to get back. I knew I was home when I heard people say "please" and "thank you." And when people let me in when I signaled a lane change. And when there were more than one country music stations on the radio.
I enjoy sitting around doing nothing. But that gets old after a few minutes, so I've been looking into other idle activities. Some I've found: sleeping, waking up, drinking coffee eating cereal, scratching my belly, showering, flexing in the mirror, experimenting on how best to style my thinning hair, dressing, turning on the TV, petting the dog, typing emails, and drinking more coffee. I also have looked into driving around, finding coffee shops, drinking coffee, reading magazines, and shopping. Good stuff.
