The weekend was a complete bust from a writing standpoint. I didn't so much as touch a keyboard, or look at one page of "Clans". (sigh) We were running like nuts the entire time. We had a bunch of errands to run Saturday, then we had to drop the boy at his grandmother's while the wife and I went to a surprise 40th birthday party for my best friend. The wife was kinda worried about going because (outside of my buddy and his wife) there were only gonna be a few folks there that we knew, and that only casually. It turned out well though, we met two other couples we had a lot in common with, danced quite a bit, and had a very nice time. Sunday was also busy, we had an Eagle Scout promotion ceremony to attend for a boy in my son's troop. It was really a nice ceremony. The kid who made it really deserved the rank. There was a really nice moment where he gave a pin to his older brother (also an Eagle with our troop) to thank him for being a friend and mentor. The older brother got all choked up and every mom in the place started to cry. It's always nice to see that there are some really great kids out there, despite the loons you see all the time on television. Makes you feel good about the world's future, ya' know?
Work has me too busy to write at lunch today, just a few minutes free for this post. Tonight isn't looking good either, I never got to the lawn this weekend and the wife has a dozen or so errands she wants me to run with her. I'll try to fit some work in there somehow though. (wish me luck!)
On the "good news" front: I've been working out every day now for the past two weeks and I feel a lot better. (except for my knees. I over-did the dancing Sat. & I'm feeling it in the knees.) I've been pretty mellow around the house (for which I know the wife is grateful!) and even the usually insanity of a working life hasn't gotten to me lately. Such a simple concept: move your body, relax your mind. Still, I always seem to have trouble keeping with it. This time I'm working things a bit differently so hopefully it'll go easier. I have to run, but I'll let you in on the new plan tomorrow.
Later!

Good kids don't get nearly enough press or credit. There's a lot more good kids than bad kids. Thanks for crediting one of the good ones.
