Day missed... oh well

Missed posting yesterday.  I kinda planned to post twice today, but haven't yet.  I suppose I could post twice tomorrow, as I took the day off!  Kinda nice to have a rich bank of vacation hours, allows me to take the occasional day off without touching a nice reserve.  By nice reserve, I mean more than two weeks.  Probably going to need a couple of weeks some time in this calendar year, but not for a particular vacation.  I should also start banking/planning/reserving some time in June as my wife's ten year wedding anniversary is coming.  Ten years married to me.  No snickering in the back. Of course, since she reads this, I can't really discuss what it is I'm thinking about.  But the you, the enlightened reader, will know that there is a rich tapestry of ideas bouncing around inside the ole noggin.

Tomorrow I've got to head out and pickup the hubcaps for our Saturn.  Got the "summer" tires out of storage last Thursday, but they didn't have the wheel covers.  Found them Friday so I said I'd get them tomorrow.  Then I'll be heading to the passport office and renewing the documentation.  Let my old passport expire when I wasn't doing much travelling of any sort, so it's time to renew.  This is the year that Canadians will be required to show their passport when crossing into the US.  The month isn't important, although it isn't this month.  There's also some talk of a grace period, new provincial driver's licenses and such but I'm going with the passport.  Apparently some decent majority of Canadians hold a passport so it is less of an issue than with Americans.  Looks like those attacks in New York 8 years ago did their job - made things harder for everyone here.  Spend lots of money on things that don't have a huge impact.

Such things aren't good to end on, so I'll mention that I had a wonderful time at my aunt's today - saw my cousin and his kids.  Haven't seen them for awhile and it was a nice time.  Even got outside and kicked a ball around.  That's a good thing.
