Trinity’s World

So what did I do for Father’s day? I went fishing with my Dad. Sounds a little “that’s already been done,” but it was a lot of fun.

When I was younger, I remember have a lot of fun adventures with my Dad and my Brother. I think back and I have a lot of really vivid memories, fragmented and not really cohesive, but vivid. I remember trips to places like Bishop, late night peer fishing, streams, lakes, ocean, a lot of different places. I don’t remember catching a lot of fish, except for the fluke trip where we caught so many we didn’t know what to do. But I remember sitting with Dad and listening to him tell stories about when he was kid, stuff going on at work, and random stuff that you never really seem to appreciate at the time but now that your older you really miss. So fishing was not something we were ever good at, but it was a lot of fun all the same.

That basically describes our Father’s Day last week end. We had fun, but didn’t catch a thing. We cooked dinner over a fire pit, drank some alcohol, got sun burned, got a bit smelly, but we sat on the side of the lake and did nothing; which was the point. I know that I had fun, I’m sure my Dad did too. So here is a pic of me at Hesparia Lake, catching nothing:

Ok, so I randomly clicked on my Mom’s blog today, and saw that my Dad now has one too. And to my horror, he has put our old boat back out on the water again. We’ve done crazy stuff in that boat. I kid you not, we have had that fifteen foot ski boat a mile out on the ocean, up the Klamath River in California for the salmon run, chased down the Klamath river by Indians (true story), and all over the great body of water know as Silver Wood Lake (a small reservoir in Southern California). Not only am I shocked to see the “Never Catch One” on the water again, but when did my Dad start blogging?

You can see it Here.

My wife got a digital camera for her B-Day. Now we can take pictures and stuff and not have to wory about developing film.

Huzah!!!!!

I have spent the past few days on my own. My wife is visiting family in North Carolina to celebrate her Grandmother’s 90th birthday. She left on Tuesday, and will be back on Tuesday. So I have been left to fend for myself. So what have I done with my time?

Watched a whole bunch of Marvel Comic movies that she would never want to watch.
Cleaned up the house a bit, because it needed to be done.
Did a little writing.
Helped build a Recording Studio for the Bells of Bedlam.

All in all it was a very full week. I’m still itching form the fiberglass insulation and acoustic paneling that we installed this weekend, but feel very proud of what I have accomplished. And I did it all by myself.

That having been said, I can’t wait till my wife comes back home. It will be nice to have the one I love back here with me.

So I found a new Theme for my website. I know, for some people this is an everyday occurrence. Some people change their theme every time their mood changes in a day. I am not one of these people. I really like my old theme, but I wanted something different. I saw this on has two sidebars to keep my widgets in, so I went with it to see if it functioned a little more friendly than my last theme. And, true to form, while it does not look as cool it does seem to easier to interface with.

There are some new things happening, aside from the theme change. In another theme change of sorts my wife and I are looking at having a Kid. Well, that not a change, we’ve been “talking” about it for a while. But now we are actually taking steps forward in that endeavor. And before your dirty minds start to get ahead of me, I’m talking about getting into a semi-responsible place in our lives before we bring a child into this world. I’m now in a place at my job where we are not going to have to not pay bills in order to pay other bills, rotating them out each month. We will actually be able to make rent, and bill, and still be able to get luxurious items such as food for us to eat, and gas to make the car go to work, without having to skip any of these important items. Now that I’m past my probation at work, I get health care that I don’t have to pay for out of my paycheck.

So are plan thus far looks like this. My wife has been struggling to find a job for over a year and a half now. Now she does not HAVE to get a job for us to survive. But if she gets a job we can afford to do things like pay off credit card debt, put money in saving, and treat ourselves every now and again to special things like gifts for Birthdays (also a new thing to us) and dinner at a nice restaurant every so often. And, we have learned how to live on less than our budget requirements, so we can do all of these things at once and not go any further into debt. So if my wife can find a job, our goal will be to get our debt paid off, get her health insurance, and get her pregnant. We hope this can happen in the next year. So, yeah for us!

Another change is that I’m taking a fresh look at my fantasy story I’ve been writing, and trying to rewrite it from a different perspective. This is different than the other times I’ve started over, because the story plot line is still intact but will be told form a different point of view. I just kept finding a whole bunch of characters that I really loved were stealing the spot light from the main character. I’m going to focus it a little bit, write the story arch about her first, and then add more about the other characters latter IF AND ONLY IF it furthers the story.

So lots of change is happening. Well, for me it’s a lot of change. After all I like to keep things predictable, and anytime things start to move quickly I get a little uncomfortable. But right now the pace is fairly steady, but no so fast I can’t see what is ahead of me. I like that.
