Manly Man & Ladies’ Man

Leading Off - I really do still like to blog, despite the fact that it’s been almost a month since my last post. But there’s a major difference in my life since I started blogging, namely that my life has gotten much more boring. When you’re a college student something wild and unpredictable could happen at any moment. When you’re a working stiff something wild and unpredictable could happen if you have the energy to make it happen when you get home from work, which is a rarity for me. Who really wants to listen to me talk about my day at work? It’s more boring than what I usually blog about. I already only have five readers. Why make the content worse? I say all of this in order to shape my excuse properly and logically. I would blog more if I did more. I would do more if I had more energy. I suppose I would have more energy if I exercised more. I would exercise more if I had more time. I would have more time if I did less. So, put another way, I would blog more if I did less. How ’bout that.

Nav Ski Trip 2007

Leading Off - I’m in charge! You do what I say! Okay, so that’s not exactly the way things are. In all honesty, I have no authority whatsoever. But my boss and a lot of my coworkers are in Orlando for the next few days and, in terms of housekeeping, I’m in charge. So it’s not much more than taking calls for people and making sure the folks still in the office are all here. But I’ve got to take encouragement where I can get it at work sometimes and the fact that my boss trusts me enough to do this is pretty encouraging.

Ski Trip - It turns out there was enough snow in North Carolina to make the Nav ski trip a real ski trip. (Now, I wasn’t going to ski either way so it really didn’t matter to me.) I’m pretty sure my favorite part was the car ride there and back. Ten hours each way in the man van. Anytime you put Joe and Rob in an enclosed area that they can’t leave incredible things will be said and done (and by incredible I mean a plethora of things, not all of which should be put in print). I ended up not doing much of anything on Saturday, mostly because I woke up as everyone was leaving to go do their thing. So I sat around the church and read for a few hours. That was fine by me. In fact, my one real worry about going on this trip was that I wouldn’t have some down time that I felt I desperately needed. Sunday was spent hiking, hanging out on a giant rock with a great view, going to a Chinese buffet for dinner, and praying for ASU on their football field. Lots of fun, all around. I even have a few photos up on Facebook.
