I'm sorry for the lack of updates. There's really no excuse, except that I'm not at work much on the weekends and thus not at a computer 8 hours a day. The weekend was kinda uneventful. Except for John coming home!! He surprised us with a visit. He got a week of leave because he's been assigned to a base in Florida. I'm sure he's real upset about that as you can imagine. But at least it's not Iraq or Afganistan. I say that but I don't know that I mean it. I would be proud if he were to serve our country in that way. We've been hanging out a good bit at home. I think I'm going to be really glad to get back to work. Sunday I went to Charlotesville to find practice at Isenfir. Well we(Jen and I) found the place where practice was supposed to be happening but we couldn't find any fencers. We ended up calling Gianetta and asking her to figure out what was going on. Then we hung out at Starbucks for a while before giving up and going home. It was good coffee but a long expensive trip for nothing, and I was really looking forward to fighting. Oh well it happens I guess. Sunday night John and I went to get wings and watch the baskettball game. Which I was surprised when the Pistons won. I didn't think they had a chance against the Lakers. Today was really eventful. I went to get coffee with John and Dad, which was cool. We had some good conversations, but Dad still likes to preach which annoys me a lot. I don't disagree with him at all really, but that's the problem, he acts lectures me like I need convincing. I guess he's earned it and I should just be patient. After coffee I went and did the drama workshop which was fun. It was actually a lot better than I expected. There are some great extroverted kids willing to do drama and improv. If they did a show they wouldn't have to work as much on emoting or projecting. Which was half my job when I directed. I have to go get some food. I will write about the softball game when I get home.
