Summer update

Quick update:

1) Taking mini vacations upstate in Catskills (brother's house w/ his wife and 2 kids). The whole family of 12+ members goes up there for a weekend and enjoys "the country".
2) Went to a drive-in movie the other night. What a nice experience. My brother has a pick-up and we put a futton mattress and pillows/blankets in the back and watched the movie from there.
3) I'm learning how to cook thanks to my sister-in-law. Before every meal, you'll find me in the kitchen observing/learning/chopping/sautee-ing/stirring..
4) Work just got busy -- just makes time go faster, but makes my stress levels jump
5) Let's see where I am w/ my summer goals so far:
[From previous post]
>>Think seriously about Grad school - still not sure
>>Read more books - yep, still on track w/ this goal
>>Work out better (??) - yeah, let me re-think this - still rethinking =P
>>Road Trip!! - aiming for August for Montreal, Canada?
>>FINALLY put together the guest room/office - soooooo slowly
>>FINALLY clean out the "storage/junk" closet - CHECK!!.. DONE!!
>>Keep cooking (I've gotten this much better) - ever-so-slowly kicking ass in the kitchen
>>Save money - ummmm... errrr....
