What's next?

I was sitting here on the couch tonight, while Diana worked her way through a Downton Abbey episode, just hanging out and surfing for stuff. It occurred to me that I'm not really engaging in anything specific.

In mid-April, I did the CoasterBuzz relaunch, which was one of those really big projects that I get into every few years. I suppose I spent another few weeks fixing stuff I broke, but for the most part, I've spent the last month not fully engaged in any particular project. Well, that's half true... I have actually been shooting a lot of video and getting back into that. It's not a project, but it's something spare time-ish and hobby-like.

Now I'm starting to wonder what's next. I'm trying to get commitments with some people about a documentary I'd like to shoot, but at the moment I'm still waiting for some response. It would be a really interesting story to document, and I get pretty excited about what its potential might be. I just have to wait for some green lights. I feel like it's a 50/50 chance of it going forward.

Of my software projects, the one that I feel could potentially be a business is the one I feel most strongly about trying to do, but not so strongly that I feel like jumping into it. This guy has enjoyed doing more creative stuff lately that doesn't involve C#.

I've actually been doing a fair amount of leisure stuff that isn't a project. I'm reading a lot right now, for example. Granted, none of it is fiction, but that's OK. I'm watching a lot of movies, most of which I've seen before, but it's fun to visit some things I haven't seen in awhile. I've been replacing door knobs around the house, vanquishing more tacky faux brass. I even chased a baby bunny out of the garage.

Keep in mind, this is mostly stuff I do after Simon goes to bed. I try to spend time with the little man after work and on weekends, even if it does lead to some unfortunate water park experiences with him. I even took him to school last week! I don't know how Diana keeps up with him every day, especially now that he's all terrible-two.

Diana and I have another date night coming up. We so need to make those a higher priority. I don't want being an adult doing adult things with my wife to become just a hobby.
