Been too long... Well, while I was obviously not blogging, spring has arrived here - no doubt this time!  The flowers are out, the leaves are getting ready to come out on the tree, and for the better part of two weeks it has ben between 10 and 23 degrees.  It hasn't even rained much!  So in summary, no complaints.


Our fledgling Vanguard 15 sailboat fleet had its first real organizational meeting, and while there are still things left to be decided, it is off to a good start.  We plan to put our boats on the blacktop on the 13th of May - in almost exactly one month!


I have been continuing to run occasionally, perhaps up to 3 times a week.  Now the weather is better, I will work on 4 x a week - some short, some long.  Biggest empasis is just on doing it.  Of course, although satisfying (and allowing me to eat more, my favorite hobby), if I were good I would work on stretching and upper body strength.  Oh well....


A new short-term obsession - figuring out how to better write web pages, at least the easy way with FrontPage.  I know, some of you are wretching, saying what's a self-respecting software engineer doing using a WYSIWYG program?  Well, truth to tell, I are not really excited about doing web programming, just being able to do some simple web site stuff - and FP should be the tool for that.


The last volleyball session was today - and in not very good style, I finished off the season playing really badly!   Perhaps I shouldn't have taken a nap before, as I never completely woke up.  Or maybe because I am feeling just a tad "off" - hopefully not a cold attacking just in time for Easter.
