End-of-the-Month Highlights Day

New photos have been added to the Life, 2014 album.

• Events
  • We took a trip to the Greenbrier Resort for three days of hiking and khaki pants, stopping in Staunton along the way.
  
  
  • We had two birthday dinners, one for my mom at the Carlyle in Shirlington, and one for my father-in-law on our back porch.
  
  
  • We went to Easter service at Riverside Church, and had post-Easter Easter in Linden with the Whitmer clan.
  
  
  • I got sick again this month, which went on longer than necessary but was not nearly as messy as in February. However, I also bit my lip on the same day, and its failulre to heal for the entire duration of the sickness made eating irritating.
  
  
  • I worked on multiple proposal efforts, one of which we lost to NGIT.
  
  
• Projects
  • I finished an online course, started another one, built a badminton net, and installed a hook in the shed to hang sheddy stuff.
  
  
• Consumerism
  • We watched Orphan Black and were bored out of our minds by the third season of Game of Thrones (so far).
  
  
  • I bought some new dress pants after waddling through the Greenbrier in my old canvas tents.
  
  
  • I've been listening to the Nappy Roots album, Wooden Leather, along with the new Hoosiers album, The News from Nowhere.
  
  
  • On the games front, still nothing but Diablo and Hearthstone. Briefly considered Elder Scrolls Online, but haven't pulled the trigger.

April's Final Grade: B, very quiet, but satisfying
