News and Notes

So it's been a long time since I blogged. Here's what has been going on...

1. j is still pregnant. We're now in the 3rd trimester. Fixing up the house. I had an arts and crafts project that I completed this week for the baby. More on this after the little guy arrives. Should start parenting classes soon.

2. t and the TD maker decided, without my knowledge, that we would start a daily email list on articles/concerns of the day. This has lead to some funny trolling of the internet and interest (sometime heated) discussions on politics.

3. We dropped cable, and I erected an antenna large enough to get signals from the moon on my roof. We actually have great reception of the local channels and I'm looking forward to joining NetFlix to watch streaming on our Tivo.

4. Football season is starting. I've been assigned some college games (mostly JVs), so I'm excited with that opportunity.

5. After vehemently opposing the scoring system in a fantasy football with high school friends and (somewhat successfully) lobbying for a change, I somehow failed to re-register for the new season in time for the draft, and now I am not playing in any fantasy leagues. That's fine by me. I don't have a lot of time this year, and other than trash talk, don't really care for fantasy sports in general.

6. PhD studies are obviously occupying most of my time. Been busy starting new aspects of my project and writing a paper.

3 months away from fatherhood, and looking forward to it.
