And now an update...

Things are going well. We're all moved into the new place and enjoying it. It's really out of the way and we're at least 5 miles from the nearest street light in any direction so on a clear night we can see plenty of stars. It's so nice and quiet!

We have dial-up Internet access as of today, which is good. The only other option out our way is Wild Blue satellite Internet, which is questionable since we're in the middle of the woods and may not have a clear view of the southern sky. It's also not as afordable as they'd like you to believe. It costs $300 to setup, which is hardly "affordable" on my budget. Dial-up it is.

Work is good. Still happy, even if annoyed with the trend of longer meetings these days. It was just the Planning Board, but now it seems to be every board is following suit and averaging 3 - 4 hours per meeting. Oh well, keeps me employed and in practice. I'm wrapping up grant projects now, although it looks like I may be getting started on another soon. That's good, though, because it means new equipment.

Play is good, too. Having fun playing board and card games as usual. I just bought used copies of Ticket to Ride: Europe and Nuclear War from someone on a listserv (sorry Ray, it was for charity!) and expect to see them soon. I was excited because at first I was possibly getting Samurai Swords but alas someone else beat me to it. I promise I'll buy a game from you soon, Ray. ;)

Well, laundry is ready to dry so I must go. Enjoy your weekend, wherever you are!

Yeah I've been noticing that longer meeting thing as well what is up with that? and Town meeting isn't even that close either, it is probably that they keep tabling everything, friggin annoying, but anyways we should hang out and game, I believe there isn't a select meeting this monday so what about then, well talk to you soon later!

Well, with any luck the Zoning Board should quiet back down now that the whole Main Street residential issue has been decided (though I wouldn't be surprised if the Town got sued over that one). As for the other two boards, the box stores should be decided soon so that might relieve the Planning Board some (though again one of those will probably end up in a lawsuit no matter what they decide). The Selectboard meetings would certainly be shorter if there weren't so many public hearings on the roundabouts.

Monday sounds great for a game! Kathy works until 8pm anyway (as far as I know) so I'll be stuck in Plymouth until then anyhow. Where shall we game and what would you like to play?

you chose the place, I will bring my munchkin card and the board game, bring a couple of games you would like to play and we will meet whenever!

Okay, I checked with the library and they're booked this afternoon so I guess we'll just have to meet at the laundromat (Pemi Valley Laundry) and play in the lounge. Work for you? If not, we can meet there and decide where to go from there. How about 3:00pm?

You've got a birthday coming up! Happy birthday in advance!

Thanks! It works out well because it's on a Saturday this year, so I have the day off, and my friend is holding his Big Sunday Game the day after at his store so I get to play Dune. Should be fun!

And my Mom turns the big 50 two days after I turn 31 so I get to call and remind her. :P

Three days after my birthday my friend Randy also turns 31, so I get to rub it in that I beat him to it. ;)

Then four days after my birthday is Kathy and my ten-year anniversary together. She's taking the day off so I have to think up something very romantic to do for hewith a whole day off. As much as I think the local steakhouse is a rip-off (you should see the prices! at least $20 a plate!), we have a gift card so I might take her there.
