Another Year Older

Well, you know what? 31 doesn’t feel that much different than 30. Shocker, huh? Now, hopefully the year of 31 is much better than the year of 30. That much I can hope for. We did some scheduling here in the office for the rest of the year this morning and it was weird to think of these jobs that we do every year in December or so that I had problems with last year or started missing when January rolled around.

Kinda strange how some things work out. While I was laid up, but before I went into the hospital, I was watching the fourth season of Alias on my mom’s laptop. When they brought me the office computer, I took the disc out and sat it somewhere. That disc has not been found to this day.

So when the wife and I were at Hastings looking for me birthday presents (she insisted I help pick stuff out, at least to give her a selection), we found they were selling Alias Season 4 by the disc. Needless to say that was part of my birthday presents this morning, which means I can rejoin Sydney Bristow on her adventures sometime soon.

I also received a new Star Trek book (the life story of Captain Pike, it appears) and a Hastings gift card. I know the last Harry Turtledove book is out in paperback, so I may go order that or see if they’ve gotten it in.

Going to Micky D’s for lunch with the wife and Benjamin, which will be nice. They opened a new one (well, tore down an old one and rebuilt it) last year and I’ve still not gone inside the place yet. Dinner’s going to be with the parents, though I’m not sure exactly where yet.

Looking forward to Saturday, when a group of the guys and I are going to see the Arkansas Travelers take on the Springfield Cardinals down in LR. It’s the last game we’ll get to go to in old Ray Winder Field, plus it’s the Cardinals AA team that’s coming in. Should be a fun time all the way around. And a lot of the guys going are in the current rotisserie league, so maybe some trades will get done.

The new league is continuing to do well. Most everyone has team names and colors, and there are a couple of team blogs. I know I’ve been pushing this a bit much and need to back off a little bit, but I’m wanting to make sure everyone stays interested. This has a lot of potential and I don’t want it to die off.

That’s about it for today. Hope you have a good one as well!
