Four months is long enough to provide an update, isn't it? Just some quick hits, I think:

• The diet? Stopped a couple months ago. Pretty sure I've put it all back on. Just in time to go to a wedding, too.
• The replacement for the Bug? Had to take it in to have the exhaust remounted and a new resonator installed.
• Still finding new things to play and waste my time with. The current thing I'm trying to sort out is how to run Madden 2004 on a Windows 7 machine. If I can do that (and I'm thinking I can't, but I'm still trying) I would like to run an online league as commissioner and have lots of people in it. But it seems like such a pipe dream.
• Still haven't painted again, but I did start watching Bob again. I really would like to make a hobby out of painting but Lord knows if I'll ever be any good at it.

One thing that changed in the past four months is that I am taking advantage of my employer's tuition reimbursement plan to get an Associate's Degree. I should actually be doing my homework right now, but it can wait until tomorrow.

Another thing possibly in my future is a podcast. A buddy of mine and I have kicked the idea around for years, and he was recently a guest on another podcast. He has been diligent about his own writing lately, and I'm hoping to be roughly as diligent as he is. We shall see.
