The Week

It’s been a busy week.

Monday evening we went to a MontcoLUG meeting (photo). Lee Marzke hosted it at his house in Collegeville and by offering to show off his Asterisk@Home setup he became the de facto presenter. It was a good presentation, I’d seen his Asterisk talk at PLUG a few months back, but actually standing at the Asterisk machine and having the sit down and discuss points about the system was nice (even if I still hate phones). We got pizza and Lee had some Sly Fox beers to share, yum.

Tuesday we took Michael’s mother out for dinner at the Roadhouse Grille in Skippack for Mother’s Day. It was a fabulous dinner, we all ordered the red snapper special, had a bottle of red wine (“Red with fish?!” You say, but it was quite good, the fish was served with mashed potatoes and a rich sauce. Plus, I love red wine and so does Michael’s mother). We stayed for dessert and coffee, got caught up with his mother and how she’s been doing. It was a nice evening.

Wednesday night we attended the final class of our shaman class, which took the form of a sweat lodge. It was sad having to see the class come to a close, we’ll miss seeing everyone each month. But most of the people regularly come to sweats and other events at Jim’s farm so it’s not like we’ll never see them again.

Thursday night I hit the gym with Nita. I tried out the elliptical for the first time, I was pretty pleased with it, but after a half hour on the bike I was only able to hold out on the elliptical for 10 minutes. After the cardio stuff Nita went off for a free training session and I hit some of the arm machines. My poor arms really need attention, especially the left one. I think I’ll be spending more time on my arms than any other area for a while. When I got home it was close to 8PM, I made myself a veggie burger and sat down with Michael to watch a few episodes of The Sopranos.

Tonight we’re going over to and Nita’s place for movie night.

Because of all this business, I haven’t gotten around to do anything at home this week. My desk is piled with stuff I want to go through and work on. Michael is going to a wedding with his friend Juliana Saturday so that’ll give me plenty of time to chill out at home by myself with all my projects. I’m very excited about one project that Michael is picking up a key piece for this afternoon, but I’ll wait to share that until I have pictures ;)
