Back to School…

I don’t know what’s come over me but I’m a lousy blogger. Not that I was ever an exceptional blogger in terms of quality but I was fairly consistent at getting posts out on a regular basis. It’s not that I’m devoid of suitable content. Over the past several months there have been plenty of things happening in my life which I would deem blog-worthy.

I’m playing kickball with the WAKA organization and am having a blast with it. Although my team officially has a losing record, I’ve met some really great people in the league who have taken my alcohol consumption to some of the highest levels ever. We have even booked trips to Las Vegas for the 2008 Founders Cup (basically the Super Bowl of kickball). I cannot wait!

I went sailing for the first time in my life a few weeks ago. I was pretty petrified of the boat tipping the entire time but fortunately for me that never happened. We were sailing in a regatta and took home a 3rd place divisional trophy. How awesome is that for a first experience?

Today I start back at Georgia State to take a few business classes. Negotiations in the May-mester and then Project Management in the regular Summer session. It will be weird going back there after all these years gone but I’m kind of looking forward to it. Can’t wait to pick up my first Georgia State Football t-shirt from the Student Center!

My house rented out. I went through a management company to find a tenant and to handle all the paper work. So far, I’m pretty satisfied with how everything turned out. I knew nothing about my renters before they moved in except they had stellar credit, a dog, agreed to the rent I was asking and paid an absurd deposit. It’s so nice not paying a mortgage and rent at the same time.

I was at the Braves’ Opening Day. We lost but it was my first time at an Opening Day (regardless of what Brand Atlanta says). We had the all you can eat / drink tickets. I definitely got my money’s worth.

Along with APWBWGTTD founder mingaling, bobafred and I launched APWBWGTTD.com (or atlblogs.net) for all Atlanta Bloggers to join and participate. Right now it’s mostly just a feed aggregator such as the old site but we have some ideas to make the site an even better Atlanta Blogger community. Much thanks to the recently new member freecone for a kickass logo (which will debut as soon as we can figure out how to fit into the template).

I took a cooking class. That was interesting. It was via the Apron’s deal at Publix. All in all, wouldn’t recommend it. Not worth the money.

I went to the Orange Bowl. My motivation for going was Miami January has got to beat Atlanta in January. Not even close. It was the first time Miami had been in the 30s in 40 years or something. Rained, too. I’m glad I went and I had a blast. I just wish I had brought warmer clothes.

So there’s an update. Not funny. Not even interesting really. I hope to do better. Promise. Not that you care.
