Monday: Time to reboot the Clue Server

[grayhawkfh]

Top o' the morning to y'all!

Well, here we are at the beginning of the work week again. Just where we don't wanna be.

Or, maybe we *do* want to be there. The alternative...is not so pleasant.

Whatever.

Hey, how ya doin? Let's try for a quick update...in convenient bullet point format!

• Me: Doing pretty well, actually. Spent wayyyy too much time in the car yesterday. DE was a parking lot. Looking forward to the short workweek.
  
• Family: Also doing well. Kids start camp today. mousecat0 finishes her "Engineering and Management" course tonight. Spending part of the week figuring out which bins are going into storage, part of it cleaning.
  
• What we've been doing: Well, the short version is that a week ago last Wednesday, the kids went to NJ to stay with my folks. We visited the weekend before last, then again this weekend. The longer version is...
  
  • Wed: Met folks at Maryland House on I-95 to exchange kids. Got drivers license renewed. Rented storage space. Hit Barnes & Noble for Fantasy football mags, Coraline, Lankhmar Book 1: Swords And Deviltry, & Lankhmar Book 2: Swords Against Death. Met mousecat0 at Panera and showed her the storage space. Had dinner and relaxed.
    
  • Thursday: Worked. Played some WoW. Rested.
    
  • Friday: Drove up to NJ.
    
  • Saturday: Hung out. mousecat0, Mom, and the kids went out shopping. Cheesesteaks for dinner. Took the kids out for ice cream.
    
  • Sunday: Hung out. Played Father's Day. Gave Dad more Eagles grill stuff. Got Godzilla movies, Hellboy 2, and Ghostbusters for the Wii. Headed for home.
    
  • Monday: See Thursday.
    
  • Tuesday: Car died. Much cursing and grumpiness.
    
  • Wednesday - Friday: See Monday
    
  • Saturday: Picked up Angel Food order. Drove back to NJ.
    
  • Sunday: Drove home.
• What's coming up: Gotta get things ready for the Independence Day Suburban Charred Meat Festival. Then gotta get ready for the wedding of pleasantlyevil & deceptiverose the next weekend. The weekend after that is the last big meeting for TCEP 16: Craig & Tad Against the World Crime League. *whew*
  
• WOW notes: I have most of the accomplishments completed for the Midsummer event. Need to still do the juggling one and the ice lord one. Continuing to join Naxx25 raids - getting about 1 upgrade a week. Got Grim Toll this last week. This brings me to just under 2000 gear rating on WoW Heroes. Still no Tier 7.5 gear, but working on it.
  
• Future plans. We're almost definitely going to do the Maryland Lighthouse Challenge in September and are seriously considering doing the New Jersey Lighthouse Challenge in October. The idea behind each is that you visit a number of the lighthouses along in each state over a given weekend. You can visit as few or as many of the participating lighthouses as you want. We're kinda looking forward to it.

That's about it for now. One or two more posts to follow, though.

Remember: You woke up on the proper side of the grass this morning. By definition, that makes this a good day.

Peas. Out.
