How’d you get from the bar to this mattress
And when you got here then what happened?
Been a while so it has. So whats happened in the past two weeks? Sometimes I have to ask myself.
The vacation was superb, there is no question of that. Saw a lot of friends, managed to get a lot of relaxing in and beat Gears 2 (finally) as well. Did a fair amount of reading in those 5 days or so as well. ~3000 pages I think. I wasn’t looking forward to going back to work that’s for sure, although it actually ended up being not bad. Not to say that I am not looking forward to taking more time off this summer since I certainly am. Still trying to figure out the logistics behind any trips I end up taking but I am sure they will come together, or not, as it goes.
Speaking of work, it continues, nothing terribly exciting going on there but I think there might be some small deviations from the status quo before too long. Not sure why I think this but its a feeling, perhaps wishful thinking. For the most part I am happy to be employed in the current economy and, oddly enough, in a position where I can save some money each month. Feels like I am, for right now, doing well in that area.
Still waiting for the weather to get better and stay better. We are back to snow in MN with more coming tonight and tomorrow apparently. Not exactly what I want for my April but que sera sera. At least after that its supposed to be sunshine and lolly pops or something. Means that in a few days I will probably start going for after work rides again which will be fun especially with gas prices under $2 for the moment.
Got a bunch of old photos developed and transferred to my computer this weekend. Most of them are from when I was living in England and I have to say it brings back a lot of rather interesting memories. Puts a lot of rather interesting things into perspective as well although that’s largely neither here nor there. Caused me to look up some of the people from that period of my life as well. Very interesting to see what all they are up to. Some are expected but some are very surprising to me. In both good and bad ways.
Enough rambling though, here is a music video and now I am off to watch some firefly.

Hey buddy. Read your post (every week) and was wondering what you’re reading now that you’re done with the Dark Tower. For the past two weeks I’ve kept trying to call you on Skype, but life keeps interrupting like the bitch it is. Anywhoo, love to talk to you soon.

Hey man, currently working my way through Philosophy of the Watchmen, along with a book called Sagramanda (borrowed from my dad around christmas time so I need to get it finished). After that will be a book called Lucky You that I got for my birthday.
No worries on being busy, I have been fairly busy myself actually. We will get it sorted soon though I know that. Also, you should look into a tv series called Firefly, its old news but I finally watched it and really enjoyed it.
