Remember me?

I'm still around, but I discovered facebook, so I've been doing that enough that I actually forgot I had a blog. I have been reconnecting with a lot of old friends on there. It's nice, I guess, but it never feels good when you try to sum up the past twenty years of your life for someone and realize you don't have much to say.

Most likely I miss you.

It's been a while, I'll admit.

I often find it embarassing when a great deal of time has passed since I've last spoken with someone, yet I still have very little to say.

Sephie and I are looking for a new place to live. Back towards downtown near Leu Gardens. Someone is renting a house at 1415 Minnesota Street, but something tells me this is not the place for us.

In other news, I want to go see this and I want to buy this.

I was pleased to notice at Park Ave this weekend that TNT was reissued (along with Standards and some other less impressive record). Hopefully Millions Now Living Will Never Die will follow?

More soon(?).

Love of my life.

Thank you so much for making me the happiest man on earth. I will remember this week and the way we are right now for the rest of my life.

I love you so much, my love, my wife.

Best. Night. Ever.

Dog Island for life.

I love you all and am thrilled to see some of you soon at the wedding. Those who can't make it, you will be missed.

I should just quit reading the news.

I know I'm shocked by lots of lawsuits, but this one really is impressive.

Family Files Lawsuit in Metal Baseball Bat Injury Case

When are people going to start taking responsibility for things? They decided to let their kid play baseball and he got hurt. That really, really stinks. It stinks more than I can say. I can't imagine how upset they are.

But how do you sue someone for making, selling, and approving an aluminum bat? Seriously! Plus they're suing Little League Baseball and it wasn't even a Little League game?! Really??

Money vs. Time

I'm a teacher. I have a second job working at the after school program. It's a pretty easy job, I basically watch kids play sports or shoot pool or whatever. It pays alright and I don't have to drive anywhere else, so that's an added bonus.

Orange County has decided next year they are swapping the middle school and high school schedules. This means instead of teaching from 9:30 to 4:00 each day, I will teach from 7:30 to 2:00. It also (likely) means the after school program will be extended. Instead of going from 4:00 to 6:00, it will (probably) go from 2:00 to 6:00.

This would offer me the opportunity to make a load of extra money. But it also means I would be working 55 hours a week. I'm thinking I should take all the hours I can get, try to pay off my credit card debt, and get ahead on my savings. Sephie may be working 9-5 by then anyway, so it wouldn't rob me of too much time with her.

What would you do?
