I think it’s time to admit that I’m not going to be doing daily updates this summer. Between work and the many social activities I’m trying to juggle, I think it’s a lot more realistic to expect twice a week. Which matches how things went around here last time I had a real job. And the first couple years of being self-employed, for that matter. It wasn’t until January 2002 when I went daily, and I think it’s time to scale back.
This week, I had two evening meetings at work. Monday and Tuesday, I was leaving work around 9pm, coming home, and pretty much straight to bed. The good part of that is that I got in enough extra hours that I’m not going to feel the least bit guilty about cutting out of work early on Friday. Or perhaps skipping the day entirely. And since the guys have been out working this week, perhaps I’ll have some photos of the terraced goodness in my front yard (which has all the neighbors jealous) or the new patio in the back yard that they’re supposed to pour today.
And there’s a long weekend just around the corner. I’m going to be very happy to have it arrive. Even with Saints games on three of the four evenings, I think it’ll be a chance to catch up on some of the work around the house, some laying about on the couch, and maybe even some sleep. Like staying in bed until the crazy-late hour of 8am or something. Wish me well, and if I don’t see you tomorrow morning, have a great weekend.
- There’s a nice series on The Luminous Landscape called Briot’s View, written by Alain Briot. Worth reading every last one of them.
- If you’re looking for a digital camera (and I know at least one reader is), PCWorld has their list of the Top 10 Point-and-Shoot Cameras. Looks like a pretty good list.
- Apparently it’s Time for a Facelift for the clock atop City Hall here in Minneapolis for the first time since 1949. The clock will be stopped, and work will be completed by June 2007. There’s more from the Star-Tribune. [press-patch]
- The City Pages has their summer concert and festival guide of 2006 up. I see that Alice Cooper is playing Taste of Minnesota? Okay, it’s going to be an odd summer, I think. [metro mpls]
