So I read about Four Square and it sounded pretty neat… Then amigo Steve started using it and it looked pretty cool… So I loaded it and have “checked in” at a couple of places over the last few days… The unfortunate and somewhat sad realizations that I’ve been hit with are that a) no one gives a shit where I am and b) there’s no one that I particularly want to inform of my whereabouts… Sigh… Would’ve been great to have ten years ago though…

Significantly challenged this morning for a host of reasons. On the drive into work, however, I was treated to Hot ‘Lanta by the Allman Brothers and a cover of I Fought the Law by Mike Ness of Social Distortion. Perspective regained, some sense of balance restored, on with the day. I love music. And I really dig XM Radio.

Not really I guess but the kiddos and I built a spiffy lil’ refuge and macaroni & cheese-eria today whilst love-of -my-life K was doing a little extra work (boo)…

So since the start of my most recent bloggin’ hiatus…

Kenzie turned 7… wicked…

Christmas came and went… ’twas good…

The snow (which sucks and I hate) eventually went away… I was happy…

Love-of-my-life Karen and I celebrated our wedding anniversary (#8 – butter statues!!!)

The World Cup happened… everyone here flies flags… this was mine…

The World Cup ended… I was sad…

School ended for the year… “woot” said the kiddos upon successfully completing grade two and senior kindergarten & escaping for the summer…

Which pretty much brings us up to date…

And I’ve just been informed that #8 is actually traditionally bronze or pottery… thanks honey for not making a fuss in front of all those people when I presented you with your statue…



El Blog

So Bora, my amigo and former cube-farm neighbo(u)r (as apposed to half of the Leeward isle) recently wrote a blog post in which he mentioned something we discussed at work…

This prompted me to a) read that post and b) read a few more which in turn further prompted me to a) subscribe to Bora’s blog as it’s downright spiffy and b) revisit writing a few words here again from time to time…

Indeed… the historical record seems to suggest I take a 3-6 month hiatus from posting here every now and then .. and I think the most recent one may be over…  or maybe not – time will tell I suppose… there’s something that I find immensely… I dunno… “aligning” is probably the best word… about dumping my thoughts here regularly that isn’t satisfied by yer facebooks and yer Twitters, the two things that have supplanted this place as a repository for my thoughts…
