And now
an update...

Goings and doings here have been keeping me busy of late.  Work is spinning in interesting directions.  I can't say too much since there are too many irons in the fire.  Let's just say that I wanted new opportunity at work and I seem to be getting it in spades... in a good way.  I really can't wait to see how it all falls out but I do believe I'm going to have some choices.

The house has been... the house.  Last week we took one of the two outer front doors (we have 4 doors total in the entry) off its hinges, cleaned it, planed the bottom, lightly sanded, glued the facing back on and put a couple of coats of spray shalack on it to hold it for the next winter or two.  It took a little longer than we anticipated but the results are good for what they are.  Sometime in the next two years (but never in winter) we'll need to have them professionally restored but this will hold them in good stead till then.  Tomorrow, I tear a 4' x 10' section of clapboard off my house, remove a few hundred pounds of brick and put new clapboard back up.  Actually, I suspect this will take 2 days to accomplish, but we are finally moving the correct direction on the show room project and will soon be working on the INSIDE again.

Bowling started last night.  I'm on a new team and I enjoy this group greatly.  My first week this year was far better than my first week last year, so that's a start.  If I actually get out and bowl more than just league I might even bring my average up... don't hold your breath.

I have turned in my case studies and will likely do my debrief next week.  I should be manning the hotline soon...ish.

And now, I'm off to read a story and go to bed so that I can get enough sleep to keep my promise of no ER visits.
