A sigh, a moment of silence, perhaps a moment of thought. No real activity of late. There are reasons for that - time, money, and motivation. My financial advisor says that I shouldn't be spending as much money as I have been on Muddy River Mosaic. My professional life (the one that pays the bills) has been hectic. Lastly, I've been pondering other projects for the summer: A Canoe (see below) built with the help of my friend Jack or making some homemade cheese. There's only so much time in a day and only so much time in a summer. And while my financial advisor swears I don't understand the word "budget", I do understand the concept of budgeting time.
Start with 24 hours, subtract 8 for sleeping, and that leaves 16 hours. Subtract 10 hours for working, and that leaves 6 hours. Subtract 3 hours for bathroom, teeth brushing, and eating (preparation and clean-up), that leaves 3 hours a day for the fun stuff. (That's kind of depressing, really)
Weekends leave you more time, but then again, most of us do have families which require soccer practice, baseball practice, family reunions and other such memorabilia. In the end, there's only so much time left, and you have to decide how you're going to spend it. For me the issue this summer is Canoes, Cheese, or Mosaic...I'm still in the middle of the pause.
