An evening with the Wells’ almost always leads to a chiding from Chris to update this site more often. In an attempt to inspire more frequent updates, he has attempted to link this page to my Facebook profile, with the thought that it will reach more readers… let’s see if it works. If it doesn’t, I’ll just blame the copious amounts of wine consumed over the course of the night.

New things are afoot here at SP. Stay tuned for exciting new changes.
Tonight, Saturatedpratt travels back in time, to mid-December 2005, where we unveil the long-awaited Saturatedpratt lost post - the completed entry that never was. The update of all updates, finished just before I moved, and thus, never uploaded. I do this not out of nostalgia, nor the greatness of the post itself, but rather to buy time to write an up-to-date entry. So really, I am updating my website with an old update… clearly, I am the best at procrastinating. Without further ado, allow us to be taken back to 2005.
Well, I needed a March update, so I guess you could say that I’ve been under the gun. It’s not that March has been uneventful, it’s just that it’s been tough to string together the time to make a truly good update. So, in lieu of a truly good update, I offer this: an update. (somewhere, someone just pressed the “back” button on their browser…)
March was, in spite of the lack of updates, really pretty good. Work has been going well, and I’m really beginning to feel as though I fit.
I’m getting the hang of my job, and I’m actually starting to feel pretty productive. On top of all that, I get along with my co-workers, despite the playful ribbing and continued “golden boy” taunts.
Life away from work has also been pretty good of late. In the last month we’ve had about ten days of legitimate sunshine, including a couple of days where the temperature was dangerously close to eighty degrees. With the sunshine, the trees have begun to blossom and it growing more and more apparent that we’re only about a week away from days packed with a full MLB schedule- yes, life is indeed good. (how’s that for a positive paragraph?)
Speaking of positive paragraphs, I’ve received some feedback lately critiquing the negativity on this site… in response to that, I guess I could promise to attempt to accentuate the positive a bit more, but I’m not sure that would be very honest. After all, I try to write what is currently on my mind. For instance, at the present time I’m pretty happy, despite a few unneeded developments at work and the continued transition from a comfortable, cozy existence in Eugene to one in my new (old) home where I suddenly know very few people. In all, everything is going well, and it is not lost on me. But at the same time, if something is really bothering me, or something is on my mind, I am likely to write about it whether it is euphoric or as depressing as anything that’s ever graced these pages. With that said, it’s sometimes a lot easier to write a narrative of recent events if I have the freedom to include some of the trials and tribulations of the daily life of pratt… not to the degree that it would be self-pity, but to just enough to make me laugh a little when I read it in a few months.
In other words, any negativity seen on the opening page of this site is there mostly to serve as comic fodder, and is not evidence of any deep-seeded malaise hiding just under my surface. No, my deep-seeded malaise is out there for all to see…
