Like Tom I've also been ordained by the ULC, so that I can serve as the minister for weddings of my friends. Various interested strangers too, as the officiant fees go right towards more stuff for the ride.

Suburban yardwork. I try to hear live music at least every other week, whether a local Irish group or someone passing though the area. Camping once the weather warms up. Planning a vacation for a dozen or so friends in a new locale every year. The wife is working on her degree and we have a 9 year old daughter running around to umpteen events so I've been keeping a low, helpful, profile around the house lately.

I guess it seems more exciting living it than trying to write it up. It sure feels busy day to day and I can't recall wondering if there is something else I should add to the mix.
