Zeus' Palatial Blog

Well, I’ve made it around the sun again. That must mean I’m either doing something right, or I continue to amuse the fates so they’re keeping me around. I had a nice laid back day with no plans. Hera and I did some much needed chores and then I took off for a mountain bike adventure for awhile (something I don’t get to do too much of anymore). All in all a great day.

Nothing uber exciting has been happening as far as psi is concerned. Life itself has kept me pretty busy, so I haven’t had time to pursue other interests. Hopefully having wrapped up a couple of projects and starting into fewer new ones I should be able to get more time together to be more social in the Palatium again.

Wow, what a a weekend. Not only was there the ever present things to do with psi, but it was just a go go go time too.

Though the air show was canceled for Saturday due to a low ceiling we still had a large get together and gathering that lasted most of the day. In there somewhere I threw in dinner with the in-laws and a birthday party for my stiece [sic].

Sunday was filled with a picnic, the air show, and a family reunion (which we’re crazy enough to throw every Father’s Day). It was nice to see some 200 people that I am apparently related to. After all these years I’m actually beginning to remember names and how I’m related to everyone. I thought I’d get some good downtime too, but HQ called and all that went out the window to solve some new issues

Busy? Yes. But I had a great time too! You don’t really mind the busy as long as you’re having fun!

I suppose you just get used to bedlam, disorder and craziness once you’re a parent, but if you stop to look back on a weekend you realize just how much you can cram into a 48 hour period (not to mention what you get away with once dilation and skipping are factored in). This weekend included the usual skating, cleaning, play-time, visiting and psi. It also happened to include one of Apollo’s friend’s birthdays and my father’s birthday. Actually, it’s an interesting thing with my father’s birthday. There just happens to be 30 years between my father and I and 30 years between Apollo and I - if you’re counting that makes 60 years between my father and Apollo. There really isn’t a significance to it, but it is interesting that the generational gap is relatively consistent in my family.

Mother Nature was kind enough to keep the temperatures mild this weekend, which lead to a lot of the snow melting away (and most likely flooding many basements though not mine). We were able to get in some homemade boat time on the newly created puddles of mass proportion, which was great outdoor time.

As for psi this weekend .. as things go it was relatively quiet. There weren’t any major waves for this area, insurgencies were at a minimal and I got some much needed down time. I did take some time out to practice some new TP techniques since new things are always fun to learn. Of course saying all that and looking at the records we’re scheduled for a shake-up around the 19th, so I suppose I should enjoy the time whilst I have it.
