Not that I don't love seeing the very, very cute pics of Andrew and Melia (I have showed them off to many of my friends) but I felt it was time for me to blog again.

This last weekend I saw 300 in Irvine at the IMAX. It was pretty amazing. For those of you that wish to see it, it is well worth it. Beautiful movie, really good story. I also got to spend some time with Matthew and Michelle in LA for Matthew's birthday which was fun. Although everytime I go up there I realize how much I don't think I could ever live up there...too many people thinking they are better than everyone else...I mean, it is nice to see the cool clothes, interesting ways people present themselves but all in all it just seems exhausting to care that much about what others think all the time. Plus there are just too many people there in general. And you thought the traffic in San Diego was bad...

But I am back in San Diego now where it is starting to actually feel like Spring. It has been a little foggy the past couple of days but it is getting to the high 70s and low 80s so that is nice. I am very much enjoying the time change. It gives me a lot more time after work to get things done and to exercise outside. I continue to do most of my runs at the beach, usually going from Solana Beach to just about Torrey Pines and back. Yesterday the tide was too high so I had to rough it on the treadmill but I think that tonight I may go to the beach again. I found a great place for my key (not on my tire, Tom, are you crazy?)...if I just take it off the keyring it fits in the upper arm pocket in my jacket with my iPod Shuffle. Much easier to run that way.

As for work - at GTI I am hard at work with a new revision of one of our programs. It is the program for improving yourself and your relationships with others by learning how to communicate and fulfill your needs more effectively. It hasn't been revised since the late 80s/early 90s so there is a lot of work to do. Luckily we are staying with the same format as the last two programs I have revised since being here (the parenting program and the one for teachers). It is nice to start the revision though. This is an older company whose hayday was in the 70s and 80s so many of the quality programs just haven't been updated (some still aren't even in the computer!) and so they don't match...so it is nice to have a clear 'brand image' for everything so it all looks like it belongs together. I think it will greatly improve the quality and quantity of courses taught in the future. Good stuff to be doing and it keeps me busy. I get to read through the articles while I am editing them and there is some really good stuff in there.

I am very excited for LOST tonight. Should be a good one. I am hoping that we learn more than what I already know we will find out (stinkin' spoilers...too tempting).

Oh - also - this is mostly just for Brooke but I am just going to put it here anyway...I want to make curtains for my bedroom/apt and I was wondering if, in your immense free time ;), you could send me the instructions for how you made the ones in Mom's kitchen? No rush. I just noticed the material that I bought months ago to make them and I need to actually do it. Thanks!
