Not much new has been going on. I’ve been busy getting moved out of New Concord and continuing the job search. That’s been about it.
Today was fun. Scott came down after church and we watched the Indy 500. The race was good even though Marco Andretti (who I wanted to win) didn’t even complete a lap before crashing. Helio Castroneves won by a large margin at the end so it wasn’t a very exciting finish. Overall, it was well worth taking the time to watch it all afternoon.
We went to Seneca Lake after the race to meet up with some of Tera’s family at her mom’s camper. Thunder boomed a couple of times but no rain. There was chicken and hot dogs grilling but I still wasn’t hungry from lunch so I just had a piece of Kennedy’s cake.
Time to sit back watch the rest of the Cavs/Magic game.

Got up early this morning so that Tera and I could be at church to meet with Pastor Dave at 11. We mostly went over specifics for the actual wedding ceremony. I think we were there about an hour so that wasn’t too bad. The big day is coming up way too fast.
After the meeting Tera went to her mom’s house and I went to my parents to work some on the site and some other things. I managed to get my Hotmail account synced with Outlook which made my day. For as long as I can remember, there was a fee to make it work which I chose not to pay. I checked just for the heck of it tonight and suddenly it was free. It’s sad when things like that make your day.
Tera and I rented the movie Doubt tonight. We went to Movie Gallery with no real idea on what we were going to rent. We both saw it playing on one of the tvs showing trailers and thought it looked good. It wasn’t horrible but it wasn’t great. The ending was kind of a letdown and sudden but I guess that’s how it was intended. The movie may be one of those where I need to watch it once more to appreciate it. It was nominated five Oscars so it has to be amazing, right?
Tera works 8-4 tomorrow so I’ll hopefully start getting some larger things packed and moved. I have to be sure to watch the season finale of The Office that I missed tonight. I already know the big shock but I still have to check it out. I’m sure it will be hilarious.

I managed to keep busy today. Since imaging my server yesterday didn’t go as smoothly as I had hoped, i worked on that most of the day. I purchased a external hard drive which I’ve needed for awhile. After hearing positive reviews, I went with a Western Digital 1TB drive (shown to the right). I was able to move over my existing tablet image as well as successfully image my server and my mom’s computer. So far it’s working great!
In addition to imaging computers, I did some work on this site as well. If you notice over to the right, there is a Twitter sidebar. I figure for the times I don’t update, visiting the site will still give people updates on what I’m up to. I avoided the Twitter fad for awhile but I think it can be useful so I’m giving it a shot.
Not sure how far I’ll get on my list of things to do tomorrow. I need to take my keys back to Physical Plant at Muskingum and return a clock to the bookstore. I hope to either clean or pack stuff here at the apartment in New Concord. Time to continue watching basketball and relax.

It’s been awhile. Ok, it’s been looooooong time. Still, not too much has changed. The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west. The grass is still green. I’m an Alum of Muskingum College. Wait…that’s a big change! As of Saturday afternoon, I became part of the “Long Magenta Line.” Luckily I was able to do it in four years rather than five or more like some people who graduated. The commencement ceremony only lasted about two hours which was far short of the suspected three and a half. Following the ceremony it was back to Cambridge to visit with family and friends and eat. It was a good time.
Being done with college means that without a job I have nothing to do. I’m going to miss the summer days at CNS but my days there are over. It’s time to move to something new. Hopefully, one prospect in particular works out but I don’t feel as though I should mention it here.
Perhaps the best part of being done with classes is that I can now enjoy the NHL and NBA Playoffs with a clear mind. The NHL Playoffs have been great while the NBA Playoffs have been somewhat annoying as a result of appalling officiating. With that said, I can’t say I haven’t been entertained.
I plan to keep this up to date a bit more now but I don’t know how that will turn out. I’ve said that many times before and failed to deliver. The only promise I can make is that I will try.
