A Quiet Sunday

A nice quiet Sunday today. Watched a ball game (GO PHILLIES!) and just took it easy. Replaced a burned out light bulb and talked to a friend, but other than that, a nice quiet Sunday. Went through a software tutorial to get a start on using some book design software, but that's a fun thing so it doesn't count as work. Will pick up the job hunt tomorrow, looking for a survival job until I can get something better. Also looking into getting into something new. Have to do a little research but hopefully can start working on it soon. I'll keep you all posted.

Has it been that long?

Ouch! It's been over a year since I wrote anything. There are slumps and there are slumps. Anyway, not a whole lot has changed. Kind of ended my relationship but that's all I'll say on that subject. I've reconnected with A LOT of old friends on Facebook. Say what you will about whatever shortcomings or technical glitches it may have, Facebook IS a great way to find old friends and even make some new ones. I almost have a social life now. Woo hoo! Anyway, just got through Halloween and now the holidays (ugh!) are on the way. I'm not much for the holidays. Got off the "Gotta get the perfect gift!" merry-go-round a while back, partly due to tight finances and partly due to the holidays sparking some not-so-pleasant memories. I'll leave it at that for now. Not much else to say for now. I definitely will NOT wait this long until another post. See ya guys later!

Another Weekend

Well, the weekend is here. It's supposed to be rainy so I guess I'll work on the online stuff and maybe work on a model kit or two. Yeah, I still build the occasional model car or airplane. Old habits die hard. It's fun and it's a nice diversion. Since I like to work with my hands and build things it's a good hobby to have. I've learned more than a bit about history, aviation and other stuff along the way. With any luck and a little time, I should get the modifications finished on the one plane I'm working on. I'd like to get it done sometime this century. I haven't been working on it regularly, just when I have the time and/or when I'm in the mood. Sometimes I just don't feel like it. I think we all have those moments where we don't feel like doing anything.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Olympics Are Over

The Olympics are over. Now what is there to watch? I know there's plenty of shows on but there's just something about the Olympics. Probably the once every four years makes it special. That and the fact that the athletes are competing for their country rather than a single team. Even if you don't win a medal, it's an achievement just to qualify to compete. Here's a hat's off to all the athletes who competed in Beijing. Well done, everybody.

Olympics

Been watching the Olympics the last two weeks. It's been interesting. Michael Phelps won eight gold medals and the winner of the women's marathon won by a one minute (more or less) margin. It's been fun.
