I started a Facebook account and am probably going to end up using it more now. I like tinkering with the options. Mostly I like the Chess application, I just need people to play with.
I feel a little ambivalent about the Superbowl. I have long considered the Patriots my second favorite team because of their professionalism and ability to win. On the other hand, it is hard for me to whole-heartedly root for them because this win will give them four out of the last seven Superbowls, not to mention a perfect season this year for only the second time ever. That Bill Belichick is a dick doesn't bother me, and I thought the whole "Spygate" cheating controversy at the beginning of the year was overblown. I won't be surprised if this game is a blowout, nor surprised if it is a close game. I am looking forward to having a few Samuel Adams and watching it this afternoon though.
Little Sam is not so little already. He is becoming a big boy. Molly is also growing, but more intellectually than physically. Watching your children grow and develop on a day-to-day basis is amazing. I guess I realized it would be, but actually seeing it in reality affects you on another level.
School has started out at a run. We've been incredibly busy. Between work, school, and the kids it leaves virtually zero time we can "waste." Any free time, when the kids are asleep or at my parents', has to be utilized efficiently. No matter how difficult, though, I am happy with the opportunity. I keep in mind my greater goal, the idea of a better future, and that gives me the discipline to keep going. This time last year I had no plans to improve myself, and now I am committed to giving Law School my best shot. My determination is my strength. My wife and I amaze me, the mature way we have approached our situation. We're awesome. Heh.
