Well, it's been almost exactly three months since my last post. I feel like I should be reporting quarterly earnings. Or losses, given the current economic climate ...
However, in the interest of making my transition back into hopefully-more-regular blogging as easy as possible, I'll just issue a quick report on a number of ongoing threads, anchored by a perfect rendition of a lot of the interactions I've been having with Xander lately.
Xander: only a month after his 2nd birthday, he's deep into the terrible twos. That boy has a fierce temper. He also has a one-truck mind -- just about all of his activities and utterances center around trucks: trucks in the morning, trucks in the afternoon, trucks at night, trucks in the bathtub, trucks when he's eating, trucks in trucks, trucks on trucks ... trucks. On the physical side, he's a little beefwagon with oodles of energy, and just about indestructible. He likes to slow himself down by running into things, so I think football might be the right sport for him. He's also become a little chatterbox, and parrots just about anything you say, including the bits where Mommy and Daddy have something go wrong and say things like #$@$@!@#$.
Christina: her business is doing very well, and she's keeping it interesting by doing various types of work -- commercial, maternity, weddings etc. She's gotten some good press and has even been on TV. And, after gamely doing all her work on a 7-year old PC for the last couple of years [yes, I know, it's embarrassing], we finally left the Stone Age and outfitted her with a stonkin' desktop PC, laptop, lots of storage space etc. This, in turn, has made my life a lot easier because I no longer get lots of complaints about her machine running out of memory or being ridiculously slow -- 8GB of RAM are pretty handy that way.
Me: still jes' workin' for The Man. My leg is close to being back to normal, and so I've been looking around for a new sport to pick up, since taekwondo is out of the question. I've been thinking about mountain biking, and have been out on a couple of mini-rides with a friend of mine, but haven't really engaged.
And that's pretty much that. More interesting [to me, at least] stuff to follow.
