So much for the once per week update. I'm having troubles keeping up with life, and unfortunately blogging hasn't factored in. So here's an update on the various things I've been working on instead of blogging:
Oh yeah, I posted some pictures the other day too. Enjoy!
It's been nearly a month since I've posted. Same on me. I'm a terrible blogger and human being. However, I intend to make everything better with one enormous update. You've been warned.
I'm captaining our Mixed Ultimate club this year. While I'm technically old enough to play Masters, I'm not sure that I'm ready to make that switch yet. More importantly, Kirsten is not ready to make that switch yet. Captaining a team isn't exactly rocket science, but it is time consuming. Now that our roster, practice schedules, and tournaments are set, I can settle into the business of actually playing Ultimate instead of organizing it.
Note to my coffee maker: if you are going to take 45 minutes to brew a pot of coffee, you could at least warn me with the little blinking "self clean" light. After two heavy doses of vineger & water, you are now back into midseason form.
Lots and lots and LOTS of new pictures posted. Mother's Day, birthdays, Tuesdays, Random Days, all being uploaded as we speak.
Will has taken to his Big Wheel like a fish to water. He's also quite fast on it. Fast enough that it's difficult for me to follow him while riding. While this may be a function of my being out of shape, it's also that he's damn fast. So as a responsible adult, who attempt to model appropriate behavior, I bought a bike so that I can ride with him. We've taken rides to the park, around the neighborhood and sometimes just around the circle drive we have. I'm hoping to get some additional miles biking occasionally, but haven't yet found the time.
Work has been kinda nuts lately. There are about 3 projects that I'm working on that are all coming due together. There are an additional 15 projects unrelated to mine that are also coming due which is making everyone else seem just as harried as me. I'm still thankful that I'm getting a paycheck every other week, so I shant complain further.
We seem to have passed through the windiest spring I can remember in quite some time. It makes playing Ultimate a little challenging, but it's been great for flying kites with Will. He's really been enjoying being outside with this new kite. We had a bit of a learning experience the first time when he let go of the string and it flew away into a tree. His new kite is much better at staying out of trees.
I'm not sure what it says about me that I have to take a day of vacation to upload pictures and post on the website. Oh the things I do for my fans. If you've made it this far, thanks!. And I'll try to do better next month.
Sorry for the technical difficulties regarding the micro blog and pictures. All is resolved now.
One new, but unannounced feature is the "Photo Blog". This takes the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words" into action. By using my camera phone, I can take pictures and upload them instantly to the website using the power of Twitpic. I'm still experimenting, but this page should mildly entertaining, if not significantly interesting.
