nothin' much

Steve went out to a movie tonight and the kids went to sleep remarkably easily, so here I sit with a little time on my hands. A few things from my world:

1. Parents, you must read this. It's witty and true. And if you comment, maybe he'll keep writing.

2. Until he gets a job. Steve is considering a full time position that he is easily qualified for, pays OK, and would probably not be too stressful. He is very worried about the kids being with "others" all day. I'm a little less worried about that, but certainly not happy at losing my wife.

3. "Knocked Up" = very funny movie. Haven't laughed that hard in eons. See it. We went to this nearby theatre that has childcare -- whoot! The kids liked it, we liked it (it's also one of those PDX "beer & pizza" theatres). I love this town.

4. My birthday is Monday, and I've lost 10 pounds in the past 5 weeks.

5. I had blood drawn for some standard tests this morning, and seven hours later I got an email notifying me that my results were available online. I love that! My cholesterol is a kick ass 120, and my glucose is a perfectly fine 85. Triglycerides, an amazing 37. No transfats around here, sir. My HDL could be improved with more exercise (and red wine).

6. Spaceburgers are better when you're a kid, but the county fair is still pretty damn fun.
