Catching Up

Tweet

The last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me, and as a result I've worn myself down. But I'm rebounding slowly, although the whirlwind will continue for me for at least another few weeks. It all started with my week-long backpacking trip with my son at the end of February. We had a blast, although hiking so many miles with a backpack on was physically demanding. Then, a few days after that, I came down with flu-like symptoms and was sick for a week. I still have a lingering cough, but otherwise made it through relatively unscathed. Then, it was my son's 21st birthday, and we went to Epcot at Walt Disney World in Orlando to celebrate. We did a lot of drinking, although I'm not much of a drinker anymore these days. But we had an amazing time. That was followed by a trip to Las Vegas for my paintball team's first major tournament of the year. We played horribly. Probably the worst our team has ever done in the 5 years I've been with them. Not exactly how we wanted to start our season. Today, I am in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, with family and friends to go to an NHL hockey game between the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning. Big interstate rivalry game. It should be a fun time this evening. Tomorrow, I drive to Orlando, Florida, to catch a flight to Seattle, where I will be spending a week visiting friends. I've been to Seattle a few times (mostly layovers on flights), but this will be my first time actually spending some time in the city. I'm excited because we're going to spend a few days at a cabin on Mt. Rainier, and also go whale watching in the Puget Sound. Very excited for those two things. Not excited at all for the 9 hour flight out there though. So that's been my whirlwind of a life for the past month, and why I've been a slacker on myLot lately. Anything exciting been happening in your world lately?
