So as I said earlier, I've been a bit busy. The month of September kept me away from home for three weeks, one in Atlanta, one in Savannah, and a final resting place for my birthday in Helen, Georgia. Helen is a nice place, if not a bit overrated. The pseudo-Germans were cool, I guess, but pretty much everyone who was not in my group (of coworkers) was either old, rich, or both. There were either groups of the elderly who arrived on a bus of some sort, or a group of motorcyclists on BMWs. It would have been a great ride, but Beth and I weren't ready for a trip that long on two wheels. 300 miles in one day would have been too long of a first ride. Maybe next time.
I finished my first quarter at Colorado Technical University Online, and I have to say I hate it. But I need the degree, and that's the fastest way to get one.
My fresh new Gateway laptop went for repair not long ago, and it turns out that my memory upgrade went to shit. Oh, well. Back down to 1GB for a while. I guess I'll manage.
My job is getting easier, even though I'm responsible for a bit more. I'm covering as our division's webmaster until we find a replacement, and it seems they want more than they originally asked of me. I don't mind it, but it would be nice to see a little bit of that two-step pay grade advance, too.
I started geocaching and recommend it for anyone who wants something purely extracurricular. Finding something in the woods with your daughter is a great way to bond. We had a great time today stepping through spider webs and briar patches to find an old ammo can hidden in the forest. Beth was a good sport.
I just discovered that the little running gadget on this page doesn't display correctly in IE7. I'm not fixing it - you'll just have to use Firefox.
