Weekend Update

Well, another weekend in the books. This was productive weekend. Lots of stuff got accomplished. I'll let Amy talk about some of the items she got done, but I finally got our pool vacuum repaired. I just need to put it back in the pool to see if it truly fixed. We got some other stuff done around the house in preparation for the invasion of traveling guests this weekend. Amy, Teri and I made to an early voting station so we could vote ahead of Tuesday's primary. Don't forget - printing a paper copy can help reduce issues like Hanging Chads....

Cingular Wireless sent me a notice a couple of weeks ago regarding an upgraded SIM chip. Said it was important and service-impacting, but when I finally made it into a Cingular store, they couldn't tell me WHY I needed this new chip. "It will improve your service." Kinda like to know how still...

The bigger news was that I finally made it to church this weekend. Went to the 4 p.m. Saturday Mass. In the end, I was glad that I went. The readings were very timely with everything going on in our life these days, and the priest did a good job of tying everything together with his Homily. The non-religious part of the message was that we just need to take life one day at a time and that every life has a purpose. It was very reassuring, actually.

Hope everyone else had a great weekend! This week should be hectic with the Shower/Bachelor Party prep going on ahead of the main events this weekend. My boss is back from vacation, so that should be fun too.

Voted also last week. Quick easy effort as I'm a registered non-partisan. You have so many things going on, it's amazing you found time to sneak into church. I've been telling myself that I'd like to do that for the last 3 years. hahaha

Hectic is not the word for it, hope everything is going ok for you in LA.

Church? Did you have to bring that up? Now I'll feel guilty for not going myself. It's been too long - I really need to make an effort soon.

Martin - It doesn't happen as much as I like. When my life was less complicated, I could make it about 3 times a month. Now, I'm lucky if I can get it in once a month.

Lloyd - Thanks. Things are OK here.

Fred - Sorry man. There is something about going to church that helps me focus. Call me crazy, but even if I can't remember what the priest said, I feel better.

I'm really glad we went on that Saturday. It gave me a certain peace of mind and made, somehow, dealing with all of this a little easier. I like to think that our prayers for my Mom actually helped a little.
