Some may have noticed that I haven't written anything in over a week.
Yeah, I'm a bad man.
Last week was a bit of a mess. It started off with my boss realizing that I had three days off, that some work I needed to do (and quoted as two weeks effort) needed to be done this week and subtly asking me to work some overtime to get it done. So I worked three days worth in two days to get the thing basically done and wasn't in any mood to look at a computer screen after that. Then my parents got back from Vancouver and we hung out with them and hiked and did a whole lot of stuff until Sunday afternoon when they left. So we had half a day to catch up on groceries and bills and quickly get ready for Monday, Back-To-Work day (for both of us).
So the blog dropped lower in the priority list.
Now we're back at work on a somewhat normal schedule so I can sneak away for ten minutes to write this.
Like I mentioned, my parents left last Sunday. I was a really fun couple of weeks, filled with hiking and visiting and taking pictures. My dad left with a CD containing almost 300 pictures! I added some pictures of them in an album.
Since I last wrote, I also got a couple more birthday presents: three small statues of chinese wise men that bring good fortune to their owner (that's me! yay!) and a really cool quick-dry shirt (which I used in our last hike). Really, really cool stuff. Thanks so much to my folks (on both sides!) for that.
That's about all that's new right now. I hope this covers the 30 cents I owe y'all...
