The road to hell ...

I really, really thought once the winter sports seasons ended, that I'd have more free time to blog and come up with more creative, thought-provoking entries. I also intended to do a number of projects around the home. I really had good intentions. Really, really.

Ah, what's this I hear? Some of you are starting to laugh already! In recognition, perhaps? For you realize how this is going already--there are many delayed projects that are vying for my urgent attention. So which one should I do first? It requires some serious thought.

One of them is watching movies with my wife. An important duty, especially with the Stanley Cup playoffs (televised games each night) on the horizon. It's important--we get to cuddle together, eat popcorn and enjoy each other's warmth. Then, the world's king procrastinator had to get the taxes done and sent out. So that's done. Then he had to go out of town to attend to some urgent business for his mom. Another checkmark.

Now I've got a new computer on order, replacing the model I got in early 2001. But to "make room" for that, I've got to sort out the rats nest of stuff on my computer desk. It's been accumulating for quite a while and badly needs sorting out. The new gear is on the way, so I can't put it off any longer ... can I? THe stuff is supposed to arrive next Tuesday or so.

First, though another big checkmark--taking my wife to the quilt shops out of town. That's being done today. I've been promising that for a long time. But with all the trips to visit my mom or related to her plus the sports stuff, it's been pushed back time and again. Enough waiting. That's being done today.

Another checkmark was made last night: taking my wife to a fish fry, something we hadn't done for a while. Well, we had gone out for a fish fry a few weeks ago, but we opted for a pizza instead. Same place, you know.

I also had intended to put some "end of winter" pictures on this blog, but I haven't gotten to processing them yet. A few new nature shots, too, from my Wednesday trip. But then I got back home and did other stuff. Taxes. Movies. Then it's late, and I've got work the next day. Geez, where does the time go?

I don't know. Too bad Einstein is dead, because I'd like him to look into this rift in space and time. There has to be some "unified theory" to getting all the stuff done that I want to, right?

I'm not known as the kind of procrastination for nothing, you know.
