We're coming up on the sum - sum - summer time. Pretty exciting. Last weekend was a blast. We hung with my Aunt and Uncle who live here in Tucson (and played Uno!) Friday, the Allertons on Saturday (hiked and grilled in the mountains - no Uno), the Harts (and played Uno!) on Sunday, and then a various group on Monday. We swam two of the four days; not too bad! Luckily, I got out of work a bit early on Memorial Day so I could at least lay around and chat with friends.
The kids are done with school for the year and are registered at Wrightstown Elementary. We visited the school and like it a lot. It's a cute little school in a pretty nice area (i.e. lots of money) so we feel pretty safe sending the kids there... money = good morals? Maybe it's a false sense of security but it's still a sense of security.
I'm still in training and doing all I can to get rated and off these long hours. I love and hate ATC.
Our house is coming along nicely. We got some major projects done. They were enough to satisfy our itch to throw all of our money into house projects. Some nights I wake up dreaming about additions and painting!
I fixed our computer last night. The power source broke on our Dinosaur computer ('99 Micron AMD 800 MHz - it's like a cheetah... with two legs) so I bought a new tower and moved everything over. It was interesting and I only had to guess on a couple of cables. It just made me want to do more upgrades now that I feel comfortable doing it. Isn't that just like a man? We do things we feel comfortable with and that we know how to do because our egos are so fragile. But things that are hard, uncomfortable, unfamiliar we shy away from (like stepping out on a new job or business, or trying to actually get to know our wife and kids...).
Anyway, I just went from computers to a deep theological discussion on why America has so many school drop-outs, gangs, broken marriages, drug problems, murder, rape, theft, molestation, and hate... men not taking responsibility for our roles given to us by God. The moms and sisters and mothers are left trying to fill needs that God didn't equip or expect them to fill.
It's 0700 in the morning so I'm going to stop there. Hope you all are great!
