Finally finished playing Ar Tonelico the other night.  Fun game, great to pick
up for an hour or two in the evening prior to bed time.  Loved the in game
humor and running plots.  Ending was a little weak.  Combat, well, it wasn't
exactly what you would call challenging.  All in all, a sweet little title. 
Decided to throw in Phantom Brave now.  Time for min-maxxing once again.  If
you've played Disgaea, you know what I'm talking about.  Already started
sucking me in last night, played an hour longer than was planning...just to
make it one more level or try one more thing out.  *sigh*  

In the bad news department, my old friend Pete from back home lost his step
son in a car accident on Monday morning.  The stepson and 4 other kids in high
school were rumored to be drag racing, couldn't stop in time, lost control,
and went into the ditch.  He died at the scene, the other 4 are in the
hospital.  So, another funeral attendance date for me coming up soon.  

Spent last weekend out on the farm once again.  Really good November weather. 
Spent Saturday out in the timber again.  Got a section completed, moving
further north when I go back out again.  Saturday evening folks and I met my
brother and his girlfriend for a meal to celebrate my brother's birthday. 
Sunday, got the farm ready for winter by putting chains on the one tractor,
got the snow blower for the tractor moved down the main shed, got the hay and
grain tank set-up for the cattle Dad bought and then I went around the fence
lines and cleared out the young trees and brush that had come up in the last
few years.  Sunday evening, celebrated my two nephews' birthdays with my
sister before I took off for CR.

Just a slow work week.  Back to pondering about changing jobs again.  Still
waffling on home computer.  Still no dates.  Hello status quo.
