My blog. Personal thoughts, anecdotes, and musings.
The average blog has about one reader, and it’s usually either the blog’s owner or Google. It turns out that this blog actually had quite a few readers. I say had because most people probably stopped reading this blog once they discovered how infrequently I write. It’s not that I forget to do it… I just haven’t felt like I had anything worthwhile to say.
I’m going to try to do more frequent updates (the blogger’s promise) and see if I can get more people to read the blog so I don’t have to write so many emails.
Crazy month
Published October 23, 2007
This has been a really crazy month. I’ve been working really hard on a lot of projects, including the books and some web sites. It’s really hard to say no beecause there are so many interesting things I want to do and learn.
Out of all the stuff I do, I’d have to say I still really enjoy working with the students at UW-Eau Claire. They’re really bright guys who always make me proud.
Sorry, Dad!

Bah! Thwarted!
Published September 11, 2007
The baby did not cooperate with us today, so we don’t know what it will be yet. Sorry to dash your hopes.
Today was a packed day. Things went really fast. Jason started out with the mud and drywall, and put the toilet in.
Then we went off to pick up the vanity from Menards, after a brief detour to get new paint, since I goofed and didn’t have enough to finish the room.
The vanity’s upper unit didn’t come with enough pieces or instructions for assembly. Jason didn’t feel comfortable with the way the guys at the store said it went together, so he attached all of the components of the vanity together.
Day two started out late, as Jason ended up with some phone calls to deal with. When he got in, he hit the ground running, getting the subfloor mudded up so the screws wouldn’t show through the linoleum flooring.
The floor went in without a problem.
The rest of the day was spent doing the plumbing for the sink and the tub. Pipes had to be moved around a bit to accomodate the new vanity.
Jason started remodeling the bathroom today. This is a project I’ve wanted to get done for a long time, but we didn’t have the money or the time. Here’s our current bathroom for those of you that haven’t seen it.
We got off to a late start but made really good progress with the demolition. There was quite a bit of stuff to tear out, and he was constantly amazed at how bad things were, especially under the floor.
