A Great Deal of Thought

I want to say that the reason that I've been absent from this blog is because I've been giving this particular post a great deal of thought. The problem, of course, is that it's not true. In reality, we've been busy with the new baby, and I'm pretty sure the lack of sleep has hindered my creativity, so I'm having trouble coming up with interesting posts. So, just to catch you up, I've been reading some interesting books, taking a more active interest in Lost through blog reading and podcast listening, and working on improving my Brain Age. This last activity is made possible by the fact that Daniel bought a Nintendo DS with his own money for his birthday. He's been doing chores, earning his commission, and saving up for months. He'd managed to save over $80, and on his birthday friends and relatives gave him enough to cover the rest of the DS! He was ecstatic, and we were, of course, very proud of him. My dad then paid for us to get a game for the DS, and we got Brain Age 2, which is a great game, and a lot of fun, except that it is based on the bizarre idea that the perfect brain age is 20-years-old. This is a problem for Daniel, since a lot of the tests are over his head, but it's also a problem for those of us who are sleep-deprived and over 30. Still, it's got a lot of fun Sudoku puzzles, of which I'm a big fan. Anyway, I'm sorry this is so rambling, but those are my thoughts at the moment. Now I'm going to bed. I hope to be more coherent for my next post. G'night!
