Totally Analog (and other assorted things...)

So this is the past year where I have successfully dropped the digital habit of planning and organizing and went back to reliable paper and pen. My notebook that has been in many other pictures here has been a reliable companion to help me jot down notes, keep tasks on track and the like. I know that this seems like such a trivial thing, but considering my techie twitch that I have occasionally this is pretty considerable. The move back to the Franklin Planner for a brief 3 months led only to disappointment as the company has decided to go to online only and closed the 3 stores that they had in the Dallas area. Alas, dear Moleskine, you have not left me.

Little man has had his birthday and is getting taller, smarter, and more of a personality. It is amazing to realize how quickly the time flies and I only have the pictures to remember younger days. Happy, scared, excited, tired, sick, they were all there. Considering my schedule and the requirements that I have it was good to know that I was there too. I have heard some say that they couldn't be a part time father. All this while they had their head buried in a video game shooing the kid off. Hopefully, when little man looks back on his life he will be able to say that his Dad was there.

Sexy Bride and I have reached milestones in our lives and decided that age is still just a number and one other important thought. We're not dead. We gave each other the best gifts that we could possible give each other for our birthdays. We cooked. Since we love working with food in our home, not as a business, I cooked up some Tenderloin Filets for Michelle, and she found some sirloin steaks for me. Little man surprised me the most when he walked in with a Fisher Space Pen for my birthday. My new everyday pen. It was from him, and he picked the color. Purple.

That is pretty much it for now. Having to get back into writing since I have more than 140 characters to work with here. I'll be raising the roof for LSU on New Years day. I'll hopefully be writing more, and framing more pictures. I have to admit that between writing and framing photos I get the most satisfaction because I know that it was mine. I did that.

More later,
