Hello, Benjamin Hartley.

Finally, the sun!

The rain finally broke today and this evening is the warmest its been all week! The two-minute drive home with my windows down makes me crave the summer evenings that are to come, when Tracie and Penny and I can walk down to the lake at dusk and enjoy those priceless Marquette evenings.

Being off facebook and off the internet and away from TV has been spectacular. I sat down to do a project for my internship with the Marquette Maritime Museum, and decided I better go on the internet for a bit too, and I couldn't figure out what the heck I used to waste my whole life on it for. I didn't even know what to do! Figured I better check my emails, and then I swung over for some uninteresting headlines at drudgereport.com, and then stared at the screen thinking for awhile. Can't believe that for the last four years of my life I spent hours and hours every day sitting with the TV on and the computer on my lap. I'm glad that silly phase is behind me. It takes a lot to get me to sit down at this thing now, and I like it!

I will certainly try to write more, and hopefully I'll get some family and friends to start following it, since I know that while I don't miss facebook, perhaps they miss me just a tiny bit. At least my mom might.

Time to keep putting the house together, listen to the Twins play the hated Yankees, and then make brownies for Tracie Lee when she gets off at eleven!
