The week that was.

This protracted silence brought to you by the following:

• a plethora of home projects
• my new job (yay!)
• City of Heroes
• mah jongg night
• community events
• Town Meeting
• a bright yellow S2000

Happily, it seems like we've been getting somewhere with the never-ending list of home improvements/ repairs. The retaining wall is built. The gravel has been shoveled out of the driveway and distributed next to and behind the garage. Chris is fixing the windows. We raked. We swept. We moved shelving. We hauled bricks. I repotted plants. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel like we had a weekend. At least it's (mostly) done.

Just finished my first week at the new job. I keep bumping into former co-workers.

All this has meant precious little time for City of Heroes-- I think I played for less than 4 hours last week.

Speaking of 4 hours of my life that I'll never get back, Town Meeting was its usual mix of the civic-minded, the fervently uninformed, and the just plain whacked. Didn't hear as much this time from the Grandpa Simpson voting bloc, but there's always one or two. At least most of the votes went the way I wanted them to. Ah, the sweet stench of democracy!

Still no S2000. Soon.
