Yeah, it's been a while

Ok, so doing an update once a year isn't going to make for a very interesting blog. :)

There's lots of stuff that's been going on in the last year, and I plan to write about as much as I can in the next few weeks. Here's a quick summary:

• I went to my first star party last August, which prompted me to finally upgrade my department store telescope to something a little more substantial
  
• I found out that I'm going to be a dad
• I got inspired to train for and run a marathon

I'm not very good at organizing my time, but I am hoping that the training, all of my various hobbies, and taking care of a newborn will teach me some valuable time management skills. If it works, I'll find that I have more time to keep this site up-to-date.
