So I've got a newish hobby... If this can be called a hobby...
Hobby: avocation: an auxiliary activity.
I suppose this qualifies. I like to take my laptop and watch people while I sit around at Panera. It's interesting the number of different people you'll see at a place like this... Even if it's only the staff.
Ok, it's been a while since I've written... It's been a while since I actually had something to say. I'm really not certain I've got anything to say today but I felt like writing - especially since I've checked all my usual websites and have extinguished my wikipedia surfing at the entry for 'stoat' (think short-tailed nocturnal weasel), well that and the definition of "hobby."
I'm on cruise control in my life right now... Stress levels have remained pretty much constant save for working on a car for a friend... That was annoying; it's done; I'm happy. Now for two weddings, a dock and a pool pump; that'll be the last of my projects for others. Following that I'll hopefully get my bedroom painted and the floors refinished. Those two projects should be but a weekend each.
Hmm... The group directly next to me appears to be an investment club. They're discussing why the market was down today. I wasn't aware it had gone down... Yet another minor annoyance with working where I do.... No internet/television access. Oh, well. I get paid well, especially on those 60 hour work weeks :)

I've been thinking on my past recently.... Where I've come from, what I've done and how much I've changed. Following my graduation from college I became a conceited bore. I had the degree I knew it all. I still fight these feelings, I think we all do. I just have to constantly remind myself that I'm but a sinner saved by grace. Grace should be the prevailing aspect of my life. It's not, but I'm trying.

Panera is remodeling. The new two seater tables that replaced the couch lack one feature... neareby outlets. At least the wifi's free. (cough)starbucks(cough)

I discovered a nifty website recently. It's called dailylit (dailylit.com) and it's currently sending me Dante's Inferno, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Kenneth Grahame's Wind in the Willows. It sends me a chapter a day and assists me in relaxing before bed each night.

I'm done rambling. I hope everyone has a divine evening!
