Weekends – day 1

June 1, 2008

Saturday is fading to tomorrow as I write.

It started with an 8 AM with dentist appointments.

Then on to Radio Shack to get boxes that will help keep the almighty TV operational into 2009. I am really kind of peeved about having to spend money to continue to watch free TV. I am also not sure if these boxes will work with my 1978 black and white that just keeps going. It was my first big purchase out of college.

Then a bus ride down to a Mariners game (M’s 5 – Tigers 0), a walk on the waterfront, and back to the stadium district for a “Friendly” soccer game between Brazil and Canada (Brazil 3 – Canada 2). It was supposed to be a nice-ish day with a high around 70, but we got a drizzly day for most of it instead.

Finally back home and ready for bed, except that Carl is still doing laundry so we all have clothes for our various games tomorrow (soccer for Jay & Ashlan, baseball for Carl)

Good day, and good night.

Why

May 30, 2008

After suffering writer’s block, this morning offered some new perspective. When first considered I thought a blog would be a great  way to keep in touch with the kids away at school. Of course, by now one is about 6 months from graduation. (Did I ever mention I over analyze and think to much instead of doing?)

But this morning I am sure this is a good thing. A minor accomplishment but it made me feel good, and I was singing in the car on the way to work this morning. Usually a good sign, and also a sign that there were no carpoolers along.

So – off we go – to partially quote Cris Williamson, “Sing out a song of the soul.”

Hello world!

This could be the start of something – or maybe not. After months of thinking about things to say – I can’t think of anything. So a little about post work today. Went for a walk with my significant other. Call it a training walk, but really just a nice evening walk. More on training at a later date. For now – off to figure more about how this whole thing works.
