I haven’t been posting at my normal clip this week because I have either been getting ready for a small vacation or have been on a small vacation to visit my wife’s family. They live on the opposite coast so we don’t really get out to see them that much, but when we do it is always a lot of fun. We even got out here on the cheap (free!) because they had some flight vouchers that were about to expire that they couldn’t find a use for. I am so thankful that we both have parents that are so generous.
While we are here my wife is super excited to go house hunting. If we had cable she would be glued to HGTV watching all those house-flipping shows that were the single reason for the housing melt-down, the single reason. I don’t think I really like the idea of looking at houses that we aren’t really thinking of buying, but I’m not exactly sure why. Maybe I think it will be boring. Maybe I think my wife is trying to get us to move out here (which wouldn’t be bad at all, but if done in an underhanded way would make me feel underhandeded). Maybe I’m afraid to leave the house because I accidentally stumbled upon a secret ninja lair while searching for leprechauns while I was in the 4th grade. I don’t really know … the label just doesn’t say.
Either way, I’m sure I’ll have something to post about sometime next week when we get back. Maybe, just maybe, the incentive to write something interesting or fun will keep me awake and attentive - maybe.

Bike Commuting Is Tough on the Tush
