Over the past month and a half I have written all of the interesting things that have happened to me here on this site. That is to say that nothing of particular interest has happened at all. Why is this? It seems that others have things that they actually do, or at least think, while I do nothing and think not only inane things, but the same inane things over and over. Naturally, this is no big deal for me, but it certainly makes for an unchanging website.

The question I’m asked most frequently by people I see infrequently is, “have you done anything new on the house?” and the answer is no. We don’t do anything on it at all, at least not recently. The reason is that the next jobs all require some outlay of money that we don’t seem to have. Meanwhile we spend money at a regular rate on other things we need far less, so I suppose we are to blame for our own situation.

I paid my quarterlies. That’s interesting, to nobody.

I’m planning another trip to Walt Disney World. Ditto the above on relative interest.

I did recently get a physical exam that showed I was in pretty good health. My liver works at a slightly reduced capacity, but it is within acceptable parameters for life, so there is that. What does this mean for you? I may well be around for a while to enthrall you with posts of this compelling nature.

Projects (A.K.A. Things to be planned and not completed):

Learn to play piano and guitar.
I have a cheap guitar and cheap keyboard, and have gotten some software to help me learn to play. This is not so much so I can entertain at all the parties I host, but rather so that I can expand the music education of my child. I am relatively certain that I can not depend on the school system for this.

Learn to program in Objective-C for the iPhone (and Mac for that matter).
I am one of the eighty-six billion people who are signed up as iPhone developers, though in my case it means very little since I have no experience in these areas. I have a book and the SDK though, so I may be making a stab very soon.

Get Organized.
I almost had a breakthrough where I got the whole house clean and organized, but now I seem to have let it slip backwards again. I must redouble my efforts.

So that’s me. Stop me if you’ve heard this.
