I took a look at the site today, thinking about some much needed updates. I was quite surprised to see that the front page had no content on it. Must be a sign of how busy I have been. I quickly set the index page to display articles for three weeks instead of the previous two. That at least put one article up for reading.

Why I have been so busy

1. Work

   As if anyone needs this reason explained. My new job is going great, I am spending quite long days there. Our work is highly political, and for some reason everyone has something they need to say this year.

   Because it ties into work, I asked about putting up a client list to have a list of links to clients that I have been involved with. As long as I don’t comment on the non public issues, I can start to do this. Look for it to appear soon

2. House Hunting

   Though S worries that I am not spending enough time on it. I try to assure her that I am indeed looking hard

3. Beer

   Last weekend I started a new batch of Oatmeal stout. I love having the house smell like a brewery. Watching your own beer transform from malted grains, hops, water and yeast to Pure ambrosia over the course of several weeks is a must do for everyone.

4. Bicycling

   Still my only form of transportation, other than the bus. I started a story about my ride on the 10th of the month, but it never got out of draft stage. I rode around the fern ridge reservoir west of Eugene. Looked like on the map too be a little more than 30 miles when I was done.

   I don’t always bike that far, but have been getting into the 5-10 mile range daily. Last weekend I hit some good hills to the south of town.

5. Reading

   I suspect I am averaging at least 500 pages a week easily. Limited TV reception and No computer access in the evenings.

6. Movies

   Watching quite a few movies from the library

Unfortunately the item I wish to have been number one on the list is still a months off, as soon as my family joins me out here, I expect to be extremely busy, just doing nothing but being with the kids again. I am hoping that the three of them will take up most of my free time, with whats left spent with S.

S and I watched this last night. This is the basis for you’ve got mail, though both S and I felt that this moved much more slowly.
