2024.08.24 Summer Event Horizon

It's been a busy-lazy summer, full of bike rides, RPG's, reading books, eating good food, house and yard projects. Somehow in between weeks of kid time and all their associated lounging play, I've also been scrambling with odd weeks of working while truck projects get complicated.

But this next week the kids go back to school. Hopefully the kids and I will sneak in another mostly-quiet bike ride up at Sandy Ridge before they do, and then Amy and I have final yard project plans for while they're at school. And then, after that, we shift into the work/school/home rhythm. And a new beat to that will be Amy shifting to days instead of working nights, which will make things interesting in a new way.

I still haven't gotten very far in preparing Simon for driving practice. I suppose that will be easier once he's, you know, legally allowed to operate a motor vehicle in public. Which theoretically he will be shortly. -gulp-
