So things are coming along here. When last I gave you guys the run-down on things, a little over two weeks ago, things were afoot. Since then, much has changed.

• Kate and I found a place that we’re absolutely in love with, over in NE Minneapolis, and we’ve gotten it. We take possession of the keys on November 1st, and do the brunt of the moving work on November 9th. I’ll be getting as much of the smaller stuff over there as possible in order to keep my enlisted-aid from rebelling.
• Made a huge jump forward in my swimming lesson this week — swimming! Granted, it ain’t pretty and I’m switching between face-down and rolling over into a back-float-with-kicking in order to breathe, but it’s still propulsion and I’m not drowning. Good thing, that.
• The new novel has been dropping ideas in my lap left and right. I’ve recently discovered why it’s better to host your writing on a Google App, rather than to carry it around on a USB stick — when you have the killer idea and forgot the stick, you can’t easily add it to the narrative. I know where the USB device is, I just don’t have it with me is all. Going to move the manuscript over to Google Docs again.
• The bike projects are coming along — the 29′er more than the track bike. I have all the brake parts, handlebar, crankset/BB, and grips. I will probably order the rims tonight (DT Swiss TK 7.1d), and the stem, seatpost, and seat next week.
• The Linux/WinXP box is running, and I’m getting my Civ3 fix.

So that’s about where things are at, currently. I’ve got more, but there’s stuff to be done.
