It’s not that there isn’t anything to blog about, it’s just that there is little time to do it.  So where should I begin?

• The battery of my Mac Book Pro went bad late this spring and I finally got a new one.   Working on a laptop is annoying without battery.  Especially with Apple’s cord that comes out if you look at it wrong.  At the beginning of August, I ordered the replacement off of eBay because it’s much cheaper than from Apple.  I did a Buy It Now and things went well. When I got my shipping notification I noticed it was being shipped vai HKPS.  A quick google showed that as Hong Kong Postal Service. Yeah, it took a while to get here — I finally picked up last Saturday.  And it works great!
• At the end of June, we started having problems with our wifi at home.  Due to a busy summer, I didn’t start trying to figure it out until a few weeks later. You can read my post on the local LUG list for all the details. I said later in the thread that I had it working, but only temporarily.  Now that I have a battery, it’s much easier to troubleshoot.  The problem is something in the living room is interfering with the signal — taking the MBP into the kitchen gives me plenty of signal.  The signal dies as soon as walk with it into the living room.  Of course, we have added no electronic equipment in the living room for at least a year.  I’m blaming the DirectTV DVR we have.  I’m not sure a good solution.
• Gina has been inspired by Sea to Sea. So much that she wants to pick up biking.  She already had a bike, and Leah has two (one for now, and another for her to grow into. And we didn’t buy either of them) but I didn’t have a bike.  Gina found one on Craigslist last week and I went to pick it up. The seat was horrible, so I got a replacement.  And the gears seem to be adjusted (Gina disagrees).  Leah is very excited to go on a long bike ride with her parents.  We have already did several trips around the block.
• , I’m team teaching Junior High Sunday School with Gina this year.  Gina did it last year with other gal and she dropped out this year (she had been doing it for a while).  No one had stepped-up to teach it with her and, really, there is no reason why I can’t help.  I’m most excited about doing it with my wife — that is what I think will be the best part for me.
• Once again, we’re heading to the Lifelifght Festival this year. I’m not sure who I’m excited in seeing, but there are some Souled Out acts that seem interesting.  Leeland will be good (they’re much better live, IMHO).
