Dearest blog, I hadn't realized that over a month had passed since my last
blog entry.  Time sure flies when you are busy at work.  Well, there has been
another distraction lately that has come into my life, but I'll discuss that
later.  So let's see, what has been happening in the last few weeks.  I
managed to take a 3 day weekend for myself over Labor Day weekend.  I did not
go into work, or back to the farm.  I managed to get several loads of laundry,
the bedding washed, several hour of video games, and dug out the bike and
found a nice 3 mile trail that runs a few blocks from where I live.  My roomie
and I found a map of the local trails, and we kept following a trail and were
confused why the trail ran along the back streets.  After 30 minutes, I looked
at the map legend and found we were riding along a "future" trail that had not
be built yet.  Amazing, after not riding a bike for over a year, my legs held
up very well, just some pain in my lower back and incredible soreness in the
seat. *grin*

Other news, my sister is being a complete f'ing idiot with her life.  She has
decided that she wants to run around with her "friends" from work.  Said
friends turns out to be single and married guys that she goes and hangs out on
the weekends with and doesn't invite her husband along with.  I truly feel
sorry for my bro-in-law and my nieces and nephews, as their mother wants to be
selfish with her need to be "free".  My bro-in-law tried to bring her into
marriage counseling, and my sister disagreed with what the counselor said in
the first session, and refuses to go back.  She has even moved out of the
house now, which now forces the children to get shuttle back and forth between
the farm and her apartment in town.  What a mess.  Dad is ready to cut her out
of the will, and Mom, well, Mom wants her to get professional help.  The sad
part, this is the very thing that broke up her first marriage, this need to
take off and lose her family responsibilities.  I don't understand this, but
then I've always been a responsible one.  Just a bad deal for all involved. 
We'll be watching to see how this is going to affect the children.  I'm
worried about my oldest niece, as she is now 13 and has been seen a lot of
instability in her life due to my sister's actions.

Now for that other distraction in my life that I mentioned earlier.  I can't
explain how it happened, but all of a sudden I now have 3 single females in my
life being "friendly" to me.  I go for years without this happening, and now
all of a sudden I have 3 at the same time?  It is like some cosmic switch got
pulled.  And I'm already taking abuse from some of my friends as some of my
karma is slowly being returned after all the years of my abuse.  So far, I've
received cookies from 2, and the other one invites me for walks.  I'm afraid
I'm in over my head here.  So for now, I'm going to slow play and see where
this goes.    Life is definitely taking a turn for the strange.

Question dear blog, for a guy, is having your body type described by a woman
as "curvy" a good thing?  Hoom!
