… I just haven’t had the time or mental willingness to post for a while. This past weekend was our first relaxing one in quite a while. We started out with dropping the cherubs off at Liz’s parents on Thursday afternoon so we could go see Gaelic Storm at the Pabst Theatre in Milwaukee for Irish Fest. That was certainly a blast and I think even more enjoyable than I expected it to be. Friday, we met up with my old friend Dave and his wife to do some activities in Milwaukee. Our first stop was the Miller Brewery tour. Unfortunately, the production line they offer tours for was down for maintenance, so we didn’t get to see any containers being filled. It did end with some sampling of their wares, which Liz greatly enjoyed. She’s decided that MGD 64 is right up her alley, particularly since she’s on a low-carb diet. This was followed by lunch at the Safe House. I wouldn’t have minded spending some more time there to check out their artifacts. Speaking of artifacts, the next stop was the Milwaukee Public Museum where we checked out the mummy exhibit. It is certainly a bit odd when you stand and think about the fact that what you are looking at was in fact a living, breathing human being at some point. Very odd indeed. After that, we had to part company so we could make our way back to the in-laws to reassure the kiddos (and their grandparents) that we had not left them for good. Saturday was mostly a lazy day. I got in a couple of naps. Then we went to Mt. Horeb to visit with friends from college. That was enjoyable but we could have easily spent many more hours visiting. Unfortunately we needed to get our children to bed. Sunday was the drive home. ‘Nuff said.
I’ve got a couple of projects lined up to work on here at home computer-wise. One is a SOGo implementation and the other is setting up a new frontend for my MythTV DVR using a Zotac mini PC. The Zotac project is likely going to be much easier but I think the other will be fun as well once it’s working. The mini PC isn’t here yet. I had been hoping it would get delivered this week but I’m not holding my breath at this point.
Well, time to hit the hay. It’s been a long day.
