Tis a new year.\u00c2\u00a0 As I have already written 2007 on a check to the daycare, I’m reminded how cool I write my 7’s.\u00c2\u00a0 As a son of an engineer, I quickly picked up some drafting habits.\u00c2\u00a0 First, I love mechanical pens – despite that feeling of inadequacy after the last piece of lead is used up and I clik-clik-clik-clik…\u00c2\u00a0 Second, printing is distinguished – you can always tell who’s done enginnering drafting by their block lettering.\u00c2\u00a0 (This actually drove me to boycott cursive – it’s the bain of us leftys).\u00c2\u00a0 Third, and probably related to the other two – I put a midline dash\u00c2\u00a0across the vertical bar of my seven (kinda like a backwards “F”).\u00c2\u00a0 I propose it is another status symbol – although handwriting analysis will probably say I don’t wash my hands after I use the bathroom (which I do) and that I have a off-balance toe (not sure about that one).<\/p>\n
While I have given out one resolution in my blog (ditching Windoz), all the things I have in my list to do in 2007\u00c2\u00a0are all house related.\u00c2\u00a0 The primary issue is my landfill, commonly known as a garage.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll get to that first\u00c2\u00a0becuase it’s the prereq. for my other tasks:\u00c2\u00a0 building a cubby system\u00c2\u00a0and desk for my 9 year old’s room, a desk and toy bins for my 6 year old’s room, and bi-folding doors for hiding the misc.\u00c2\u00a0junk in my office.\u00c2\u00a0 And, finally, making access spaces to the unaccessable parts of my attic (completing the place to put my OTHER junk that’s sitting in my office).\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
During my 2 week holiday (the benefit of years of service and working with a NASA contractor), I got some quality time… with my 360.\u00c2\u00a0 The kids ran around at times, but dude, I got like 4 ranks in Rainbox Six: Vegas.\u00c2\u00a0 Met 20+ people playing, added about 7 to my friends list (they added me cuz I’m like wicked awesome with the auto-shotgun).\u00c2\u00a0 So, while I’m going thru gaming withdrawals, I’ll be thinking about cleaning up my garage.<\/p>\n
