Daddy Boot Camp

Posted In: Amelia, Everyday life — October 14, 2005 @ 6:27 am — Peter

This Saturday I’ll be spending half the day in Daddy Boot Camp. This session was recommended to me by a fellow first time Dad in the neighborhood. Unlike the last class we took, this one is being held at Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Medical Center (PSL), another hospital within a couple miles of our home. I’m excited about meeting fellow clueless Dads-to-be and hoping to learn some vital secrets that will help keep baby happy.

Class Description

Despite the frigid weather we’ve been having, I decided to ride the Vespa to work today. I bundled up with my North Face thermal liner, scarf, and gloves and had an overall comfortable ride. Temperature? 45 degrees. Perhaps I’ll get some more use out of that little scooter yet.

Its official, I’ve reached the halfway mark of iPods capacity. It is now sporting 2199 songs with 10.8GB remaining. After a few more mp3 dumps from a new friend, I’ll likely reach the 30GB capacity and have to clean off tracks that I hardly listen to. This reminds me, Apple has announced some new toys in the iPod arena. It appears they saw a market for video on this tiny handheld device. Personally, I have no desire to watch video on my iPod. It plays and organizes volumes of music and it does that very well. Don’t over complicate a simple and efficient device. I wish the news from Apple this week was an x86-based iBook. Now that would have been eventful.

Tonight is an Avs night so I’ll be planning on getting little to nothing done after getting home from work. I’d like to tweak Quicken a bit more, but I need to wait for data to accumulate as the banking interface from our bank only provides two weeks of history. I could manually import via another method, but that is troublesome. So far, the pie chart indicates that we spend way too much on dining out! Once I have more concrete evidence of this I’ll share our high level spending habits with our devout internet fans.
