So, last night, I went out, helped rig half a the boat for the regatta, and a torrential downpour passed through. So after a beer and about 30 minutes of listening to the weather band, we called it a day and went home. There actually was a regatta, but after the rain passed it got really humid and the wind just died, so I think it would have been very unpleasant. I guess it all worked out for the better.

Tonight is HOMEWORK NIGHT. Yippeee. I have 2 homework assigments to make corrections to so I can get full credit, two assigments that I haven't started, and a take-home final that I haven't started. All are due on Monday. It might actually turn into a homework weekend. Thinking about stuff like this makes me really happy I'm not in college permanently. Though I am thinking about signing up for a statistics course in the winter. I don't want to take any classes fall semester because between Scotland and the week of the World Space Congress, I'd probably miss way to much class. Sarah actually expressed interest in the statistics class, so perhaps we could take it together and then I would have a carpool buddy to Rice. That would be good.

So, that's that. Maybe an update on my life:

Current Book: How to Win A Nuclear War (non-fiction) and Martian Race (fiction) depending on my mood

Time consuming hobby: Sailing

Schedule: Show up at work, drink coffee, read web sites, work on sim, lunch, work on sim, soda break, work work work, home, watch Simpsons/Cook Dinner, read and play with Puppy, sleep, repeat.

Song of the Week: Eminem - "People are Discussing Me, that must mean I'm Disgusting."

Need to Do: Homework. Start Flying Again.

House-buying Process: Have gathered all paperwork besides "gift letter" necessary for mortgage pre-approval. Made a list of companies to "shop" for such a loan.

TV Show: Still West Wing - my favorite line "His is a 22-caliber mind in a 357-magnum world" on why Presidents should be smart.

Ok. That's about it.
