Episode XXXIV: Stuff & Things

(In which Adam complains about his busy life and broken camera)

I sure am behind schedule on these postings of mine. I would like to blame it all on my ‘busy’ schedule. I would also like to blame it all on the fact that I don’t have a good camera to use. It’s much more fun putting together a post when I can use good pictures (that weren’t taken six months ago when my camera last worked). This will be my last post of the year, and maybe I will have a new unbroken camera by the next time I post something. For now, here are some random items of interest:

It’s Lovely Weather…

For a sleigh ride! I have been quite satisfied that we have had excellent winter weather leading up to Christmas this year. Last year I don’t recall any snowfall before I left for California, but this year the weather has been excellent. Last week there was an ice storm, and the icicles left all over the trees were spectacular (curses to my broken camera!) Then this weekend there was a lovely snow, and I went on my first Midwest sledding trip. It was so fun, I can’t believe I missed out all of last year.

Addendum:

Since the time I polled you all regarding my newfound sound sleeping, I have come up with two additional ideas (besides the ones that you all brought up). The first observation is that I moved into my condo at the same time that I got a new queen-sized bed. Could my sound sleep be explained by something as simple as a comfy bed? The other idea is that moving into my condo roughly corresponded with the complete and utter cessation of Homework and Projects and Other General Busywork that would contribute to stress. This, I suppose, would go under the already-established category of “Peace of Mind”.

My Broken Camera

It is really a bummer that my camera is broken. It is especially a bummer because it seems to have decided to park itself right underneath my computer monitor in lab, so every time I use the computer, I am reminded that my camera is, in fact, broken. It is really a bummer.
