Well, I promised to at least get a week in review post up every Sunday. I wish there was more exciting stuff to include this time around. For example, next week (which starts today), I can talk about the super cool afternoon I had with the family. This week (which ended yesterday – damn, I’ve [...]
So, in an effort to keep the blog engine running (I’ve been slacking way to much lately), I thought I’d try another experiment. My birthday was last Sunday. I figure that if I can at least do one post a Sunday as a week in review for this year of my life, it will help [...]
Less than an hour ago (well, at least when I started writing this), I was at a dance party. Oh, it was a fine occasion – formal, but fun. I was decked out in princely robes and the lovely lady I was dancing with was in her finest gown with her nicest slippers. We circled [...]
Sometime around mid-afternoon this past Friday, we crossed a magic line. No body knows exactly where that boundary exists, but it’s Northwest of Junction, Texas and intersects several small highways that crisscross the Western portion of the great state.

the Internet, we pulled down the older smaller bike and started practicing

hoping to redo the family site starting with the news, but [...]
Today, I got to be a DJ!
Some enterprising folks at my company set up a little underground radio station that streams music across the company network. On Fridays, they have live DJs throughout the day. This morning, they had me fill in for one of the other ones. It looks like I’ll get to keep [...]
Well, after several months of searching, and two failed attempts on the same neighborhood, we’ve finally found a new house! We put an offer on it a couple weeks ago. It’s a great spot for the next phase of our lives. We are looking forward to moving into a bigger place. [...]
I gave someone the following directions to find my cube today:
Come in the downstairs entrance from our main lobby and turn right. Once you’re in the main area, turn left and go down the wall past the tiki bar. I’ll be on your right – just before a palm tree on the [...]
So, today found me bleary-eyed and exhausted on a Monday Afternoon in London. This is my second trip to the UK – both because of work. Tiffany and I both came out in August and spent a week doing the tourist bit. Then, I worked a week on my company’s UK office. There are some [...]
