Where did the time go?

So yeah, sorry, I almost fell into my habit of not updating enough. So what’s up?

Well, I sold the laptop ( thanks P. ), but now I’m awaiting the release of the Merom chip for the Macbook Pro’s before I snag one. Other then that, I’ve been keeping up on the soccer games. We now play in two leagues and lemme tell you, it’s embarassing when some dude who’s 10 years older than me can run faster. We’ve almost won a game, so we’re constantly getting better.

I’ve been keeping up on the flying. I got my license renewed and I flew out to Catalina. It was a fun trip, although it took a bit to get used to the VOR navigation again. Gotta say that the GPS systems in those planes rock and make everything so much easier. I can see how easy it would be to become totally dependant on it.

In other news, I’ll soon be moving. Jeremy and I will be going down and taking over a co-worker’s house on the beach in Oxnard. When I mean beach, I mean my backyard is the sand and the water. It’ll be quite a new experience. I’m thinking about taking up surfing ( hey, even I can’t be that lazy, the water is like 50 yards away! ). It’s just going to be coooooooold. Surfing would probably be the cheapest hobby I’ve ever taken up. ( Right Mom? ). I’m still golfing and I still suck at it. Talk about a frustrating game.

Any of you wayward cousins of mine who’d like to come visit are more than welcome. I’m still unsure of the dogs on the beach, but we’ll see how they work out there.

I better get back to work. Ciao.

the season so far…

Well, we’ve got two games left to go. We don’t have any wins ( or ties for that matter ), but everyone has been really enjoying just being out there and getting good exercise. We had a game last night in which we actually did pretty well. It was still a loss, but we’re getting better, slowly and surely. After the season ends we have two weeks of rest, hopefully we’ll also get some other players that are interested although now that people are getting used to the speed, it is more of an issue of getting people playing time.

Nothing much has happened in other news. Congratulations to Heather ( my cousin ) and her new husband Tom Cushman on their marriage. It was a fun day, although it was way too hot. The BBQ the next day was a great idea as well.

At home I’ve been playing SpellForce 2, which is a great game. I tried to get the Tiger to play it but he’s too much of a wuss to do anything but work and play WoW. I also have to go get my pilot’s license renewed this weekend, so wish me luck on that!

I’m lost.

and I can’t find my way back home. rut roh.

That’s why I need to purchase this! Only a measely $2,700! But WOW. I’d never get lost again. Well, ok, when I drink too much there’s nothing to stop me from getting really, really lost. But still, it’d sure improve my chances!

Anyways, I need to take my camera out some more. Jeremy and I are thinking of making a trip up to Mt. Pinos soon to take some shots with the camera. I gotta get it focusing right and all first though. I need to take some more pictures of the dogs as well. But that’s me, the person who needs to do everything but does nothing. Cuz I’m LAZY!
