I said I would post regularly, but to save time, I am working with Lori on her blog. So you can check out what’s happing with us there.

Let’s start with an update to my resolutions:

1) Be more organized.
Still trying to squeeze out those few extra wasted ours in the day. I have a new laptop these days (from work) and I am able to use Outlook as a secondary to my planner (I still working the “old fashion” paper route). I don’t really have a good way of measuring this on, but I think I am getting better.

2) Get into shape.
I have lost a further 3 pounds in the last two months. This is a little slower than I had hoped, but I am feeling much better these days. Two weekends ago, I finally finished my scuba certification and had no troubles with my dives. Last November when I tried, the first dive almost killed me.

3) Finish my thesis.
Still working on this, it just coming really slowly.

4) Improve my cooking skill.
Cooking is going well. I have started playing with breads and curry powder, no major mistakes yet. This is another hard to measure goal, but I am pleased (and Lori hasn’t complained yet).

I have also decided that the reason I don’t update my blog is because I am always writing rants, none of which ever seem to be short. I am going to try and start writing more personal blurbs, maybe then I will write more. Lori and I leave for Sydney on Friday for a two week vacation. Since we will have internet access, I am hoping to keep family and friends up-to-date via my blog. So be sure to check for updates.
