Good Times

Yesterdays post was very sad.  I was trying but I was so tired.  I just sat, asleep in the chair with my hands on the keyboard.  I couldn't process any thoughts and so I called it a night.  Sorry to disappoint. 

I am in the process of constructing a new version of my door wall.  I don't know if I ever posted a picture of the original door wall.  It was cool.  I had 4 half doors that I connected with hinges to make a divider wall between the dining area and the line to the register.  Now I am using roughly 11 half doors to make a new divider that will better fit the new space.  Yesterday I finished painting doors and then bought supplies.  Today I hit the doors with the sander, I sanded 6 posts and then routed the posts as well.  Tomorrow may be assembly day, we shall see.  Anyhow I will post the final project at some point in the future. 

On to other fun and exciting stuff.  The kids made it to Alaska and each got their own official Harry Potter wand.  Well, they are not all Harry Potter's wand, they each have a wand from a different character or something like that.  I am not all that sure but they seem to be excited about their wands.  If they come back in a couple of months casting a bunch of spells then I may have to consider getting one of these wands, at least one that can clean house and do laundry.  Why do I think I am not going to have any luck with that?  Anyhow, glad they are having a good time.

Speaking of good times, I put on the roller blades tonight and hit the streets.  I used to be extremely coordinated and quite good on roller blades.  I've got a little rust to work off.  I had a good little run on them tonight.  I went somewhere in the neighborhood of 5 miles.  I need a more consistent surface to ride on so I may head up to the paved trails.  There were a few sketchy streets but I managed to make it without falling down.  Anyway, I used to love riding the blades.  Back then I played roller hockey all the time and also rode around the campus of UNLV.   There were great places to jump stairs, planters, poles etc.  The sidewalks were perfect for group skating and I really enjoyed it.  We played roller hockey in the LDS Institute parking lot.  That was so much fun.  Anyhow, I am back on the blades and had a good time out there. 

I know, this is really exciting stuff.  I can't help it. Much of my inspiration is from my kids.
