The wintertime
So I started writing an update at various times since I last updated. Enclosed are some fragments along with other stuff.
I finally got around to hauling out my old dell with the busted screen and getting it networked into the other computers. I doubt it will be used much at all but its something to distract me for short periods of time. Very short periods.
I am considering picking up a few new computers. Ranging from a MythTV box to a macbookPro to a gaming PC and more. Who knows if I will create any of them but they can distract me in the winter perhaps.
Sometimes the only cure for a sedentary lifestyle is truly to get up and move it seems.
Wintertime makes me antsy and grumpy. Its nice at times but large chunks of the rest of the time I am just bored and restless. Its a goddamn shame.
Years ago something happened in the winter. One could say that it was a life-altering point in time for me. Some people know more of the specifics of it then others but nobody knows the whole story, myself included. I came to grips with it but sometimes it still appears in my thoughts.
I hung out with Jory the other night. Was a good although quiet night. Seems as though a large number of nights in the winter are quiet. Part of that is because of where I am in my life but it still loops me a bit at times. I sometimes find myself looking back to college or high school and think of how different that period in my life was from this period. I suppose its just a function of aging but it still seems odd.
Still working on trying to figure out what my travel plans for 07 are. I know some time in CO, probably a bit of time in WI, perhaps MI. Thinking I might try for the east again. Some long weekends would do me good. But I would prefer long weekends where the weather is better. However I am taking half of next Friday off to go do lunch with my Dad. Should be a damn good time.
I am trying to figure out what the next major goal in my life will be. Its been a while since I tried to do something on a large scale and its starting to seem like I should. Not world peace or anything but a large personal goal. The question is of course, what direction to take.
Well I think that more or less finishes this episode of masterpiece theater.

Will try and remember man but life has been interesting the last day or so.
