New Year

The holidays are over as well as football season. It was a memorable one with the Saints in the playoffs and LSU in the Sugar bowl against Notre Dame. I am glad the holidays are over for two reasons. One, lately i am uncomfortable around people so all these gatherings are no enjoyable for me. Two, i put on some pounds over the holidays and i was well aware of it. Now it is time to shed those pounds. I am a more comfortable person when i am at the proper weight which i am sure that is the case with every person.

Tyler has begun baseball practice therfore i shuttle him from that and the batting cages whenever i can. I am happy to see that he is enjoying a sport. he likes any sport so that is a great thing. I believe he has a great balance between school and excercise right now. he understands the need for good exercise. Tyler's work ethic and cleanlyness leaves a lot to be desired but i understand that is likely just a teenager thing. He and i were not able to go snowboarding this year because i am short on funding currently. We did go to St. Croix last summer though and i am planning a summer trip this year.

The house is still comming along although at a much slower pace. Still working on the driveway but the utility pole is gone finaly. yeah! Need a little more furnature and hotwater and washing machine and dishwasher and icemaker. Ok, a few things yet to do. :-)

Culturaly i have purchased season tickets to the Banners series and the ACTS theater season. I plan to attend as many events as possible. Hopefully i can generate some interest from my son in these events.

Enough for now. Later
