Been a while, I know. Life has changed a lot in the almost 2 years since my last post. The biggest and latest news first, hmm?
My girlfriend is pregnant, we are going to have a baby in September!
Heavy, I know. We were not expecting this, to say the least. After a lot of serious talking we have decided to move forward and make this happen, together. My girlfriend's name is Athena (yeah, her parents named her Athena) and we have been seeing each other since January. We met on the flight back from GenCon last year and became fast friends. In the 6 months that we have known each other, we have discovered a wonderful and ever growing list of the ideals, life views and interests we have in common.
We'll be moving in together here in House Prime next month. We'll be taking over the lower living room and converting it into a private space/living area. The room down there will be converted into a nursery. We'll be putting a door up at the bottom of the stairs and moving a bedroom set in, it'll all be very home-y.
Are you waiting for me to tell you it's all a joke? Keep waiting.
In other news, I quit my job at Overlake School in December after some bad stuff happened in my classroom and my bosses made some very bad calls. While I wont go into detail, I will say that one of my students assaulted another a number of times in a very serious fashion and the steps to protect the classroom were not taken. So, I left as to not be a part of a continued tragedy as it unfurled. I am currently engaged in trying to find a job as a beta-tester for Microsoft. I hope to hear something from them next week on this point.
There are a number of other life changes that have gone on in the house at this point, up to and including getting a dog named Ghengis (he rocks) and Joe and Sandy having a baby named Zoe (pronounced Zoh-ee) last month. The baby is healthy, eating, sleeping and grunting a lot. We are all looking forward to a second child joining the fracas in a few months.
Everything else will have to wait for another post, hopefully in a couple of week opposed to two years from now.
Hope to talk to every soon.

Just to let you know, I am having scotch to counteract the befuzzling nature of this post. But my voicemail still stands.
That's totally awesome. Wondered what you'd been up to. Sounds great all around!

Now you're going to raise this child in the proper geek tradition, yes? Lots of large, fluffy dice and dragons in the crib?
Mm.. Fresh baby.
Her last name isn't Aktipis is it?
I've given this some serious thought and I've concluded that I need to put out a moritoreum on my friends breeding. ;) It weirds me out. I mean, I'm still in school and you people keep having kids! Ack!
That said, congrats are, I hope, in order. I expect you to keep us informed.
