Lent Follow-Up

I know it’s been a couple of months since I posted on here.  I apologize to my loyal reader.  I guess I should follow up on the Lent thing.  It worked out rather well, and I was able to stick to it.  Obviously I didn’t use my new-found free time to post on here, nor did I take up exercising for the sake of exercising.  (I think people call that “working out,” despite the fact that it’s usually done indoors.)

I did get a lot of games played.  On Ash Wednesday I beat Need for Speed: Carbon, which was nowhere near as good as NFS Most Wanted.  My main issue with Carbon was that there was absolutely no incentive to get into a police chase (the best part of Most Wanted), and the best cars were not unlocked until you beat the game.  I played Bioshock, which was awesome, I re-played Quest for Glory 3 from 1992, and I dabbled in a few other games.  I also ended up going to bed earlier than usual most nights, due to not staying up surfing the net, and that was pretty nice.  There were many times when I would have really liked to look something up, but obviously there has to be some challenge.  So, in the end, it was admittedly a small sacrifice, but a bit more challenging (and gratifying) than giving up candy bars or french fries.

That’s all I have time for now.  I have been very busy training to fly a new aircraft, which obviously warrants a post or two on here, and I promise you will hear about it soon.
