34 – week 2

Well, I promised to at least get a week in review post up every Sunday.  I wish there was more exciting stuff to include this time around.  For example, next week (which starts today), I can talk about the super cool afternoon I had with the family.  This week (which ended yesterday – damn, I’ve got myself confused) didn’t have much out of the norm.  I feel like there was something I wanted to include that happened last Sunday, but alas, I can’t recall.

This week, I got a bike seat installed that lets a little one ride along with you.  Maddie, of course, was all about it.  We rode Thursday with Keith and my nephew all around the neighborhood.  There were lots of hills, and I’ve discovered that adding at 35ish pound kiddo on the back, makes for a bit of a workout.   I especially liked the fact that she was yelling “faster, Daddy” every time we were heading up hill.

Yesterday (Saturday for everyone keeping score), we did a lot of work at Tiff’s grandparent’s.  Twice a year, here, every neighborhood has brush and bulk item pick up by the city’s waste management dept.  We were trimming trees and moving trash from a greenhouse that got rebuilt most of the day.   It was a lot of fun, but hard work.  We’ll be back next week to do the lawn.  Easter is always at that house in Tiff’s family and we have to finish getting it ready.  That weekend is a blast, though.  It’s very tiring, but very fun.  I’m sure I’ll have plenty to add here that week.

I’m still pretty worried about a lot of things out there in the world.  The meeting of the G20 this upcoming week really scares me.  It’s pretty obvious that the central bankers had a lot to do with our current mess, and yet we are letting several of them from the economically leading (were at least) countries get together and come up with “fixes”.  It doesn’t make much sense to me, but we’ll see what happens.  There’s so many layers to that problem.  I can’t cover them all here, but if I can boil anything down to useful commentary, I’ll try.

Well, it’s taken me longer to write this than I expected – especially for it not having much to say.  In fact, I’ve even cheated with the time stamp in order to get it to post as a Sunday entry.  Either way, I’ve accomplished two things:

1. It’s done
2. Reminded myself I need to get some of the drafts I have finished up

Ok, I think I’m done.  Night folks!
