Life goes on

Wow. Ok, it’s been a little while since I last sat down and wrote. I guess things have been a little busier than I thought. So what’s been going on?

• Well, Julie’s back on “mole” for a couple of weeks. Plenty of bed space for me, but it’s kind of quiet around the house again. Ah well….only a couple of weeks.

• Yesterday Julie and I took a day to babysit Iris again. She’s really my favorite 11 month old. Since Julie was sleeping for a while that morning, I got to go pick her up and bring her home. We took a detour by my folks house and let her socialize with my family for a while. Man, I think they’re all ready for grandchildren. Eh, I think we’re ready too. All I can say is we’re working on it, although it appears to be more difficult than one would think. I mean, at least the way we’re trying it, you both have to be in bed at the same time to make progress and….well….see bullet point one above….

• Well, it appears that Brian Herbert and Kevin Anderson are cranking away on the final two books of the original Dune series. Sigh….I’m going to have to go back and re-read them just to get back to what in the heck is going on with the storyline. I love that series but man, it is dense. Ah well, looking forward to it.

• Just wrapped up another book, “Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ’s Childhood Pal” by Christopher Moore. It was a gift and it was actually hilarious. One of those laugh out loud books. It’s also interesting to see how people with different perspectives view Christ and Christianity in general, but I think I’ve just read a very humanistic view of the supernatural. Now that I think about it, it’s actually quite amazing that he pulled that off. Oh well, now I’ll move on to “The Four Loves” by C.S. Lewis. I’m intrigued to read about love and relationships in general. Give me something to ponder about where I have gone wrong in my life and where I need to improve. (I know, I know….very narcissistic, all about me).

• So now that I own all six Star Wars movies how long will it be until a weekend Star Wars fest? Maybe over Christmas?
