Ellipses...

I guess I didn't really get too far upping the posting tempo...  We have an unplanned two week gap between summer camp and school.  Oops.  Gonna have to come up with some programming...  The military wind down on TV is really hard to watch...  I have a new boss again, the third in two years.  Things here at the SOD have been a little turbulent...  While we were briefly away the neighbor cut down a whole bunch of trees on the property line I really wanted cut down.  There's a bonus...  We're watching "The Rook" on Starz.  So far it is really engaging.  Anything on that channel that isn't "Outlander" is a bonus...  The boy swam every day at camp this summer and you can really see the difference watching him in a pool - even if he didn't get to their deep water test...  I do not appear to be able to grill chicken without giving it a healthy char.  Perhaps that's a skill I should develop...  We have seven days until classes start.  I have a lot to do in the next seven days...  The Steelers are 3-0 so far in the pre-season.  I am remembering they were like 6-0 last year in the regular season.  That 3-0 probably doesn't mean much...  I read a book called "Binti" last week.  It was pretty decent.  I think I got the title off a list to expand the kind of author I was reading.  It seems like a worthwhile exercise...  Our PTM Welcome Back Party got cancelled/postponed over Delta concerns.  It was the right call but still kinda sucks.  I'm waiting to hear about the full SOD Welcome Back Party now...  It looks like Delta is also going to put the kibosh on any bus commuting for the time being.  I hope DR is OK with my bike in the hallway...  I shouldn't be allowed to do home repairs.  After I finish them I spend a lot of energy concerned the repair will fail.  It almost never happens but that doesn't change my response...  After searching for a new trunk organizer I settled on a milk crate - a snazzy collapsible milk crate, but still a milk crate.  I'm a little bummed the new car doesn't have much in the way of hidden storage...  This is traditionally the week we race to finish class materials before the copier breaks.  For a couple semesters I haven't done any hard copy and haven't had to deal with the copier.  I think I'll make that a tradition...
