Scheduling conflicts

Life was much simpler when my weekends consisted only of playing Banjo-Kazooie in my underpants.
These days, however, there are so many competing interests vying for weekend time.
- Miracle League games - Gareth is signed up for the Blair County Miracle League this year. The ball games are on Saturdays, but we don’t yet know what time of day they are. They are, however, all held in Altoona.
- Camping trips - This weekend, I’m heading out to Hammersley Fork to get the camp ready for the season. And then, of course, I’ll have a desire to use it throughout the summer and fall.
- Bike/kayak outings - These are typically Saturday affairs since our Sundays are already hectic as is.
- Trip to Philly at the end of this month - Well, that’s a no brainer. It’s to visit the Star Wars exhibit at the Franklin Institute.
- Putting in time at RBR - I’ve been offered the opportunity to work at the shop part time to learn recumbent mechanics, help coordinate bike accessibility efforts, and barter my time towards the purchase of a new bike. But the hours are only until 6PM on weekdays, and the only day they’re open on the weekend is… Saturday.
- Kayaking with coworkers - Somebody at the office is organizing a beginners group outing for May 3rd, same day as the first game in the Miracle League season.
Yeesh. How did I get this busy? At least I can look forward (I hope) to once again just paying somebody to mow the lawn. But other than that, I’m pretty much screwed for time.
