Still Kickin'

Wow, it seems like forever since I've put up a posting, even though I guess it's only been about three days. Things are getting busier and busier and they're not likely to slow at least through the weekend.

First of all, my mom is in town from Alabama, my dad will be following tonight and Melissa's parents are getting here tomorrow from St. Louis. This will be the first time they've all met, which is nerve-wracking enough. Then Saturday we're all heading over the hill to view next year's wedding location. No actual date yet (although we're pretty sure it will be June 2007), but that may change soon.

On top of this, my job has been turned upside-down by the opening of Reno's new Mills B. Lane Justice Center and all the problems attendant to it. I usually make it a point not to talk about work in this forum in an attempt to maintain at least some level of anonymity and protect certain confidences, but I think it's safe to say that the opening of the new courthouse has caused some big changes for me this week. The result is that I haven't really had much spare time to sit in front of a computer and shoot pithy little tirades out into the blog-o-sphere. Of course, a cynical person might point out that I did have time to watch an hour of Lost last night even though it was just a clip show. But hey, you have to have priorities, right?

The bottom line is that a more regular pattern of posting should resume next week, once all the family members have headed home and things at work settle in just a bit. So we'll be back to the pithy stuff soon enough.
