Well today I start yet another week and it looks like it’s going to be a slow one. Time is starting to drag endlessly right now, we still have at least another 6-8 weeks of winter but at least now the sun is shining more often. That usually means it’s been bitter cold and the lakes have frozen in key areas where lake effect snow is generated meaning we get less of it. I shouldn’t bitch about the weather, after all, this sort of thing is to be expected up here in the north woods.
This week should start out with a bang though. This is Instant Profit Sharing week at work. I’m due for a pretty big chunk of change this year and even after they take out the massive sum for taxes, I should be able to buy a few things for myself as well as take care of a big chunk of bills and other obligations. This past weekend I broke down and purchased an Xbox 360 which I have now discovered is very addicting. I spent most of the weekend playing Tiger Woods PGA Tour perfecting my digital golf swing. In all, not a bad purchase mainly because the Xbox has other uses besides gaming. I can use it like my TiVo which means I can get rid of my subscription with TiVo and save a little money each month. The other major purchase I hope to make is on a new TV but that has to come after the rest of the obligations are taken care of. We’ll see what I have left.
I’ve been using Google Analytics to track visits to this web site over the past several months and I’ve discovered that whenever I write about politics, my page views jump significantly. I suppose that isn’t unusual since most of those posts have links to external web sites and contain tags that help search engines find them. So, while this web site is still mostly seen by family (my primary intent), others are starting to find their way here. Last time I wrote about this I had a whopping 18 unique visitors. Now I have 38 effectively doubling in 2 months.
Not much other news from the north woods. It’s all in all pretty quiet up here this time of year. I have a new set of photographs on leelanauphotography.com and I’m working on a secret project using my photos that will be available in April of this year. Once I’m done with that I’ll write about it here.
Have a good week. I’ll write again when I have time!
