It's Been A While

So it must be time for a catch-all update.

-- Tarri has started to work evenings so we can all but take care of Tony ourselves. It's not that we're morally opposed to daycare, or anything like that, it's just that we can't afford it at this point. And my wife's old work schedule, plus my ridiculously fluid work schedule, made most daycare options infeasible anyway. For some reason, even now, day care providers expect that you're ready to pick your kid up by 6. So... big changes for us and some sacrifices for me. I had been playing RPGs with a group including sdrawkcabyaj on Thursday nights and, without a babysitter solution, I'm out of that for now. Likewise, Tarri's weekend rotation schedule changed with her daily schedule, so a writer's retreat thingy that I had planned attending around her schedule got wiped out for me in the change. A bummer, but them's the breaks.

-- The Tigers. Do I have to say anything more? So exciting that I forgot the hockey season had started.

-- I just watched the 13th Sharpe's adventure, "Sharpe's Justice." This is one of those series installments that makes me yearn for the earlier eps. Not so much becuase the quality had gone downhill or something, though I think Cornwell was really stretching to get Sharpe involved in historical signposts. Me, I figured Sharpe being involved in Army action in India and Iberia would be enough. But nooooo... Also: the only of these I haven't seen is the 14th, "Sharpe's Waterloo." I'm not looking forward to Dan Hagman dying.

-- There's finally a barber in town who can cut my hair how I like it. I just hope she hangs around.
