Today we had a quite afternoon reading Evelyn Waugh... TSG started to read Brideshead Revisited for the first time, a book which I have been trying to push her way for probably two years... And I actually started delving into the depths of Waugh Abroad, the travel collection of his that I purchased two Aprils ago.

We are trying to bring back Restful Sundays to our life, a goal which has been repeatedly stymied by my apparent work-a-holic-ness...

I don't actually want to work, in the common, vulgar sense of that word -- I want to farm, and raise a family, and write, and play music, and spread God's love around the globe.

But I abhor debt, and farming debt-free in an area geographically close to friends, family, and convenient methods of inter-continenal transportation does not come easily.

For work, I don't like doing just one things. I like having my finger in a the proverbial selection of pies, from computer consulting on a contract or independent basis to software development, to houses for investment purposes, to wine, and to various other projects that appear, even now, upon the horizon.

It is an exciting time to be alive.
