Spring? Where?!? Guess I was warned...

I don't know if it feels like spring where you're reading this, but it's only been slowly creeping in here in Boston. Twice now, we've been in the 70s for a couple of days followed up by perpetual 50s/60s--and rain. The rain has been good for the grass that I planted in the Wrights' back a few weekends back. It felt good to get my hands dirty again after starting this sterile office job.

Speaking of work, it is going pretty well. I have been placed in charge of tracking documents that outline testing standards and requirements for the electronic parts my program is in charge of. It gets pretty crazy sometimes keeping track of differing versions of the same document floating around and going in between Boston, California and Indiana. I'm also playing on a summer league softball team at Draper. We've had one practice and one scrimmage with our first game being next week. We're not the most talented team in the world, but I think we'll be competitive. My teammates are pretty good people, which is nice.

My car is working out well. I've enjoyed driving it to-and-from work, and then to sporting events at LCA as well. I watched my first live boy's lacrosse game the other night and was impressed. It's a much more physical game than I thought. I also played catch with lacrosse equipment for the first time that night. Again, I was surprised, as I found how difficult it was to catch the ball and keep it in the netting while moving, but at the same time, you can really fling that ball quite a ways.
