Things done changed

Well, so much for all that.

I'm back in Maryland, got in last night. Needless to say, my trip up to visit my brother in Portland has been postponed, as has my trip to visit Walsh out in Tucson. What a pain in the ass.

Tomorrow, myself and the Strine are headed to Wisconsin for a fun filled week of electromagnetic surveying... woohoo! The plan is to fly out Sunday, stay in Minneapolis (Sp.?) or Deluth or some shit, then head to northern Wisconsin. Not only will mass amounts of cheese and beer be consumed, but we're apparently staying at a hotel with an indoor water park... This shall be glorious (mild amount of sarcasm).

As for today, plan on riding my bike, playing a round of golf with Jay and otherwise just hanging out... Not sure if I want to go out tonight.

Anyone have any suggestions for good books/authors to read? Aside from the Simon Winchester book Timbo gave me, I've been hung up on the same type of books lately; those entertaining but sort of lame fictitious, conspiracy, action-thriller type books... you know, Robert Ludlum, Dan Brown, James Rollins type books. I think it's time to switch up the genre. maybe some beneficial books, like self help... "How not to be a loser who blogs" or something like that.

I need to learn a foreign language... Spanish or French? French or Spanish? I think that'll be my poll.

p.s. How awesome does that new Discovery series look, "When We Left Earth"? Awesomeness! Looks as ill as the "Planet Earth" series... HD is super.
