More importantly I am drinking the local Odell 90 Shilling beer which has a nice bite but is a little too sweet for me. I took a nice little walk around the area in the unseasonally 65 degree weather.
What have I been doing?
- Dynamo Recreation Referee assignor - Keeping me busy most weekends as I don't have enough kids willing to ref. I am working hard to sign up a new crop to take the course in January so I expect spring to be much easier.
- Edgewood Symphony concert last month was much better than I expected. It was fun playing the Symphonic Dances by Bernstein. Hey Lisa is standing right in front... I have been traveling the last 2 weeks so I keep missing our weekly rehearsals.
- I ride my bike to work almost everyday. Yesterday was the first day since we changed the clocks back and I left early to make sure I beat the dark. Not sure what I will do next week but I do have 3 lights plus my bright yellow windbreaker. I really enjoy my Xenith Comp on the weekends but I only ride it to the soccer fields and back.
- CMU Homecoming was fun. I went to the Staff - Alumni lunch on met an interesting guy who was back for his 50th. This was my 31st so I don't feel too old yet. I dragged Lisa to the CMU Capital Campaign kickoff. Great fireworks and we also had a demo from a student of a robot and associated software that creates these fantastically detailed pictures. Check Gigapan out...
- Haven't seen too many movies but we did go see The Secret Life of Bees this past weekend. Althought the NYTimes didn't care for it, I thought that it was very well done and told a good story. TV Shows that I am watching are Pushing Daisies, ER, Numbers, and In Plain Sight and reruns of Voyager.
- The leaves are beautiful this week.
