A bit of our life, in words.

So we have our first doctor’s appointment on Monday with a “complimentary” ultrasound. Pam’s feeling awesome and has yet to feel any sickness. She’s just gets tried incredibly fast; that baby is using up all her energy!

I bought my first set of golf clubs last Wednesday. TaylorMade rac OS. I went to GolfSmith with my friend/business partner Blake who’s a long time golfer and has been helping me a lot. I had my heart set on the Nike SlingShot clubs; but after trying the TaylorMade, Blake and a sales guy talked me into them. I bought them pre-owned and ended up spend less than half what I expected to.

I went to the driving range the next day and was hitting farther and more consistently than I have before! I was previously borrowing a set of irons from a friend from church and they are much more a blade and not very forgiving. Then I bought a used Nike driver on Friday and had all the grips refitted to something softer. So I picked those up today and hopefully will be able to try them out tomorrow afternoon if it’s not too hot. Hopefully I’ll be playing my first actual game on Wednesday unless something comes up!

I also received a new point and shoot camera last Wednesday. I had originally bought the Samsung 24mm HZ15W and thought it was great (read my review). Except the audio was awful. about 40 – 50% of the reason I bought it was for the 720P HD video it could take… but I couldn’t hear anything! So I returned it in exchange for the Canon PowerShot SX200 IS with a 28mm lens. It hurts me to have to go back to not such a wide angle lens. Especially coming from my old, trusty 5MP Kodak with a 23mm ultra-wide angle lens. But the sound is great and zoom is more responsive. The pictures come out a bit better also (then again, it is a Canon).

Which reminds me, my new Flickr link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/drewjoh/
I changed it since last time and there’s not going to be many public photos, but you can join Flickr and add me as a friend/family to see more. I’m still in the process of organizing everything in iPhoto and uploading them (face recognition is awesome!).

That’s about it for now. Looking forward to our doctor’s appointment on Monday, watching Star Trek for a third time on Tuesday with dad, Philip and Blake, and then my first golf game on Wednesday. Woohoo!
