The kids and wife have been out of town all week. Life is different on your own, running your schedule without accounting for other people. That doesn’t include the office, of course, but I avoided spending all my extra time at work. Phew.
My mania for consuming media — so much easier than creating it — gets more time, which may or may not be a good thing. Fortunately, the only TV I’ve been watching is English Premier League soccer that I’ve TiVoed. If I really wanted to spend more time in front of the TV, I’m sure I could find something interesting to watch. But even though it helps to turn the brain off now and again, TV time feels like a luxury, given the stack of projects I’d like to tackle.
My attention has been diverted from clock, too. First there was a vacation, then there was a busy catch-up week, and then my bachelor week. Everyone comes back tomorrow, so time to record a few of the things I like to remember.
I’m looking forward to normal life again, despite the hours of extra time this week. When I went out to dinner last night at 1751 social club, a local place, I checked to see if they have high chairs. (They do.) Yes, I’m a family man now.
