I haven't updated in awhile and J from Japan keeps bugging me to get back at it:) Most notably, I have been acting 13 again! I don't know, are you still playful at 13? That's a weird age to pick. OK, 10 again! We have had 4 + feet of snow pile up and I have been enjoying every second of it, as you can see from the photo.
What else is new? I am shopping for health insurance since I ended my previous job. It is frustrating to see Obama's public option run into so many barricades. It's hard for reform to happen in this country, like it's the end of the world to have a public option. Guess how much Gino and I were paying to be insured? $643 a month or $7,716 a year to go to the doctors twice. I think that's what everyone should be outraged about. Do people just not realize how much they are paying b/c it comes right out of their paycheck? But I'm just a zealous liberal who wants to live on a tropical island, so of course this would be my opinion.
Here is a photo of g and I in West Virgina, click on it to make it bigger, it's a good pic:
My software job is going well. It's a world of database lingo and is completely new to me. I like getting involved in new ventures and adventures. I work from home. This sounds very appealing, I know. But most people probably couldn't handle what I do. Meaning, you really have to love your home and love being at home. I'm a homebody, it fits me perfectly. I feel like I go into town only a handful of times a year. I just don't need to be on the go all the time.
Being Silly on Skis:
Well, not on the go locally. I am getting the travel itch again and I am about ready to scratch it. Next month Gino and I are going to Pana Ma! I am excited to rough it, find exquisite unexpected places and create adventures. Although I won't be going anywhere if I don't get a new passport. My passport is a "Marconi" not an "Amasia," and Gino bought tickets for "Amasia." My passport is the last Marconi thing I have and I wanted to cherish it forever while perpertually buying plane tickets for Marconi. There is something great about the handful of friends that still call me "Marconi." (Don't get any ideas, I don't love it enough for you to change what you call me, so if you don't call me Marconi don't start:) I will lose the prestige of flashing all of the countries stamps too. Mine will be empty. I don't mind this.
That's all for now, I'll leave you with this dollop of fun:
