Allocating Free Time

I am finding that I have more free time at this point in my life than any other time over the past 7 years. I come home from work around 5:30 or so and I don't have anything that I have to do until about 11 when I go to bed. This is a wonderful problem to have. I have already begun allocating my free time to worthy causes.

I joined some byu intramural sports teams. I am now the active goalie for a inter-tube water polo team and I play my first basketball game tomorrow. I have also started a new band called The Adventures of Robot and Squirrel. My band is a duo with my friend David Thorpe. I am a little bit nervous about the life of the band already because I think that we have our first show this Friday and we have never had a practice before. This should be a lot of fun.

Other things that I am doing to use up all of my free time include going to church activities and I have been very close to acquiring a keyboard a couple of times because I want to learn how to play. I'll give more details as the quest for a keyboard unfolds. I am also planning on reading more books than I ever have in a year. So far I think that I will read the Old Testament for the first time, Frankenstein, the Prince and the Pauper, and some other classics. I am open to suggestions if you have any.

On a side note, I am curious to know who reads my blog. I anticipated Tyler and maybe another relative to read every once in a while, but I have learned that there are at least a few other subscribers. I would very much appreciate any feedback or thoughts from people that read. This is especially exciting to me because at times I feel a drought of new topics to discuss in passing, and this way I might be able to hold a conversation for an additional 2 to 3 minutes with someone. The possibilities are endless... never mind, unfortunately the possibilities have already been predetermined to last only a short while, but it is still exciting for some reason!
