I guess it has been a while since the last update. Many things have changed, many things have remained the same. It has been a good time, and more recently things have started to become less stressful. I have decreased the total number of hours I am working and therefore have increased my overall mental health and hopefully decreased my hair loss. I suppose a simple regimen of rogaine would help with that, but what does it matter really.

I wish I could get away from the city more often, more camping, more hiking, more fishing. I guess I worked myself silly too long through the year and missed most opportunities, but hopefully next year should be better. Perhaps I can even get the opportunity to get out and do some fall/winter camping. Again this year, take advantage of what might be my last opportunities to go camping up in the woods of Twin Lakes. I guess I really only was able to go camping on the holiday weekends that mark the beginning and end of summer. I had opportunity to find an old friend and have some good chats about life and what has happened in the last few years. See a few other old friends at a wedding of a High School buddy. Congrats John and Jackie.

I have been able to get away from dealing with computers for myself and others on a regular basis, and I believe that it has had a good effect on me. My eyesight has improved a bit and I am now wearing a weaker prescription. I still don’t wear the contacts as much, but what does that really matter. At least I have them and will be able to wear them when I need to or don’t want to wear the glasses. The little biking I got out to do this year was good, but again, like most things not nearly enough or as much as I would have liked. There are other things that overrule what fun activities can be enjoyed. For now I suppose I will get back to cooking a little something up and hopefully get a chance to update this little part of the web more often.
