1) NEVER SHOP AT TARGET, because if you do, Rule #2 must be enforced.
2) You will spend more than you meant to when you ignore Rule #1 and go shopping at Target.
So there.

Target Shopping Rules
These are the rules when shopping at Target, at least as they apply to Laura and Andy.

Look at that, I let a whole week go by without posting a single thing. I bet I could be pretty good at not posting... but I suppose that's not the point of this blog. The point is for me to wright something.
Last weekend Arthur Brito visited my house. He has his own landscape archetecture business in Alameda, and Laura and I just happen to have a non-landscaped back yard at our house. We have some ideas for what we want to do, but we thought we'd get some help from a professional, and since Brito is such a nice guy, why not call him up? So he visited and took some notes, showed us his portfolio, and we reminisced a little. He does some pretty nice work, and at this point it looks like we'll likely work with him, though I think the actual planting and development of the yard will take a couple years since there's no way we can afford to do it all at once. Anyway, it was nice to see him again and catch up a little.
I also started back to rowing last week at the same rowing club in West Sac where I learned to row "way" back in the spring of 1998. There are a lot of unfamiliar faces and I am really more of a boat anchor than a boat mover, which come to think of it is a lot like how things were when I started into rowing 11 years ago. But it feels great to get back out on the water and to have rowing back in my life again. The best physical shape I've ever been in was either in the summer of 2000 right after I had rowed with UCD, or in the fall of 2004 right when I was rowing with Community Rowing in Boston, but since that part of my life, I really hadn't been doing as much exercise-wise, and now that I am getting back into something, I can really see what I've lost. Granted the jobs I've had and the hip dislocation have made it very difficult to stick to any sort of regular good exercise plan, and when the day comes that Laura and I have kids I'm sure it will be even more difficult, but now I'm looking to make the most of this opportunity to get back into shape and to just enjoy rowing and being back on the water.

Before I forget, congrats to Jenny and Scott on the birth of their new baby girl!
