Yearly Post

Here it is... my yearly addition to the internets. A bunch of stuff has happened since I last blogged (obviously), among them were Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, St. Patricks Day. Happy New year everybody!

There have been a few other things going on. One of which is our makeover of the loft. Basically, Jen and I were talking about what a waste it was to have a pretty good sized room upstairs that wasn't really being used. The loft used to have a pool table in it, but since most of my friends are married with kids, it really only got used like twice a year.

So we decided to convert it into the main entertainment area. The first task was to offload the pool table. It has been in the family for something like 25 years, so naturally it went to one of my uncles. So sometime back in January I disassembled it and hauled it up to my uncle Paul's in Salisbury MD.

The next step was to get some furniture. So we went to one of those "Deal of a lifetime, one time sales" at Haynes and picked up a new couch and lounge chair.

Along with my co-worker and buddy Langdon, who was also upgrading his home theater, I bought a 50" plasma television to put up there. Dad helped me do some electrical wiring for sconces to get some ambient theather style lighting in there. It came out well, no pics yet.

Also Jen ran the Shamrock half marathon. She ran a new personal best, very awesome. I whimped out and ran the 8k. I finished in 49 minutes and something.
