I like the idea of keeping up this blog, but I think I need to make my efforts a little more directed. I know what the blog is basically supposed to be about; chronicling our time in Mexico and elsewhere. Chronicling what? Everything? Probably not -- I mean, who needs that level of over-share. Still, some focus is needed. To this end, I've decided to make a list of stuff I need to do for this blog:
- Update weekly -- no-brainer here. Unfed, blogs, like goldfish, end up stinking up the apartment.
- Post some gosh darn pictures. Unfortunately, my picture taking skills are nonexistent. Not an excuse. See something interesting, shoot it. What's the big whoop?
- Link up with other similar blogs. There's a term for this, I'm too lazy to look it up.
- Start my "Game Changers" series. Stupid term for a cool concept. Every so often you come across a product, service, personal habit, etc. that positively impacts your life. I have a few which I intend to share here; if for no other reason to keep a record of these for my own reference.
Mexico update --
I'm sitting in a nearby coffee shop as I write this. This one if you're interested. Very nice space to work -- the street outside can be a little busy, but nothing headphones can't solve. They also serve a nice cup of tea.
Wanna know how I know I'm not in the US? There's a band that sounds like something out the Sicilian wedding scene from The Godfather playing outside. Do you remember the scene? It's pretty weird, to be honest, hearing this while writing this blog entry -- it sounds vaguely like a drunken version of Winter Wonderland. Anyway -- here's the scene from The Godfather:
Dar and I continue to adapt and settle into life in Mexico. She's still going to Spanish class, but I'll let her update you on that. I can definitely hear her Spanish improving. It's really cool! I am so proud of her.
I'm working a lot. Things are heating up toward the end of the year as I get ready to deliver two projects. No worries -- so far people are onboard, which makes it really easy. Anyway -- my work setup is actually a little better than it was in San Antonio. Crazy, right? I think my coworkers think I'm weird doing what I'm doing -- well, that's like their opinion, amiright?
Speaking of San Antonio, we finally sold our bedroom set back at the house. That was a major pending item. The last of the items left to sell! Now we just need to sell the house. Yikes!
Here in Mexico, we spent Saturday with a couple of my high school friends and their families. So I graduated from high school 30 years ago -- no seriously. It's nice to see good friendship can last across decades. So much has changed, but then again so little has.
Dar and I need to take at least one day trip in the next couple weeks. Not sure to where. I need to look into it. Maybe there's a last minute cheap fare to the beach -- or maybe we can take a bus to San Miguel. We'll see.
We're looking forward to our trip to Pittsburgh. While Amazon Mexico has everything we need and more, there are a couple items we're going to pick up while there. Silly stuff really -- supplements and the like. Go Steelers!
Nothing else to report -- I'll be here, enjoying the perfect weather!
Presently somewhere,
Andy
