Hello, journal. It’s me, Karel.

I seem to remember telling myself that I’d get back to writing here more often. What happened to that? Maybe when I’m a bit less frenzied in my day-to-day life, I suppose.

My life at the moment, in a short paragraph: Work is going well, in some ways better than I had any reasonable expectation of it going. The kids are awesome, which is nothing new but is always worth mentioning. I don’t get to spend as much time with friends and loved ones as I’d like. I need to focus on getting my finances back in order and re-learning good habits. I think I’ve made progress on my eating habits… small progress, but I’m not knocking it baby.

Oh, and: This Fox 12 WeatherBlog posting made me think: How neat would it be to spend a night or two in a fire lookout? Then again, I imagine those things are raised high above the ground, so that probably wouldn’t work for me. (I couldn’t manage the Astoria Column, and that staircase was entirely walled in!)

Anyway, good night, all, and may the gods watch over you. I’ll try not to be such a stranger.

    No. No bungee-jumping. I get squicked out merely thinking of it. Definitely no. *puts foot down*

    Here is a link to a book about renting fire lookouts in the Northwest. Note that not all of them are raised structures.
