Time keeps on slippin’
Wow — how time manages to slip past. I can’t believe it’s been almost two months since my last blog. A lot has happened in those two months…
First, on October 28, 2005 Jess created a most awesome Halloween costume for me. Pictures are below of Jess and I pre-party and JustBill and I at JustBill and Jaimee’s Halloween party that night:
Second, on October 30, 2005 I earned my class M endorsement from the state of Pennsylvania, which means I am now licensed to operate a motorcycle. I signed up for and completed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. The course was fun and challenging; I was surprised at the amount of coordination and thought that is required to operate a motorcycle. I went into it thinking it would be a cake walk, I left with a healthy respect for the art of motorcycle operating. I’m hoping that over the winter I can acquire a nice “starter” motorcycle and start riding in the spring.
Thirdly, I ran for and was elected to the board of directors for the Western Pennsylvania Linux Users Group. I will be serving as the Director-at-Large for the upcoming year. We’ve already had our first board meeting and I’m excited to see how things progress. We have also started a ErieLUG revival committee. I’m hoping JustBill will join the committee and help us kick-start ErieLUG again.
