Back to Blogging

Sorry everyone, it's been a while. Went to Germany for a couple weeks (business, building up my tolerance), came back, got caught up at work during the week I was home, then went to Blacksburg, NoVa, Baltimore and Philly for a week to hit up a couple weddings after that. Congrats to the happy couples: Dana & Drew, Brez & Lisa.

Now though, I'm finally back with no plans to travel for a while, especially by plane. Sure, now I've still got some catching up to do at work, but there's no urgency anymore. It's a feeling I haven't been able to enjoy in a while.

Ewa and I finally have a weekend together with nothing to do, nowhere to go. Sure, we might go somewhere (the beach, tubing, hiking, etc.) but for the first time since she's moved in, we don't have to pack our suitcases and rush to the airport. So far this week has been great too. We've been able to enjoy our meals, spend time with the dog, and even check out a couple houses.

Yep, tonight I am meeting up with my realtor to put an offer in on a house we checked out on Monday. I don't want to hype the subject up to much yet, since we are lowballing the seller, and might get rejected. However, if things work out, then things are about to get real interesting. I'll keep everyone updated on the situation.

Unfortunately, with all this stuff going on, I have to duck out on the annual Labor Day weekend excitement. I feel pretty bad about this, and as a consequence got my drunk ass in trouble in Philly complaining about something beyond my control. The best thing that's come out of my non-attendance though, is a nice litigious e-mail I received from one "Brother Catto".

• Apparently: “By a preponderance of evidence, it is abundantly clear that Defendant was on notice that his presence is required at this yearly event, nay, ceremony.”
  
• Sooo... “Defendant has not met the criteria for excuse set out in Catto's Second Restatement of Contracts. Therefore Defendant should be found in breach of Contract, as well as in a state of extreme pussitis.”
