Spare time? What's that?

My infrequent updates are an accurate indication of my recent level of activities. Work continues to be super-busy, and both Mel and Jacob have been under the weather, so I haven't had the energy to post.

Scattershot updates:
Signed Jacob up for kindergarten! Class of 2021! Overdale Elementary is about a mile away, and when I walked inside, I felt like I was back in my own elementary school. It's a 50 year-old building, and it just had all the same little features I remembered from my school: chipped and stained ceiling tiles, green ceramic brick walls, cutouts and construction paper everywhere, little water fountains. I might be just as excited as Jacob!

Making great progress at the gym. I have lost a few pounds, and I have increased the weights on most of my exercises--they became too easy!

The Sunday D&D campaign is going well. The characters have just entered the now-famous "sweet spot" of D&D, starting around 6th level. They also have a cause that motivates them to risk their lives to seek treasure. They are handling challenges I was sure would foil them. Guess I have to try harder to destroy them. MUHUHHAHAHAHAH!

Jacob and I have been enjoying LEGO Star Wars for the Wii. With just a little help from me, he has gotten through episodes I-V and is partway through Jedi. He's getting the hang of teamwork through the game as well, and he has learned how to follow instructions so that he doesn't keep restarting his game and losing his game progress.

If it stays nice this weekend, I may put the new belt on the mower and clean up those leaves left over from fall :-)

Finally, today was the first day of Official Thinking About Memorial Day. I am hoping to re-roof my back patio before the festivities. It'll depend on the schedules of my handy friends, I guess.
