We finished the full second week here, and my first full week back at work, sort of. I actually worked that first week even though it was my vacation. But hey, who is counting, right? Anyway, this past week was filled with some good stuff. We were able to get about 75-80% done with the…
It has been almost a year since this site has been updated, and I figure we should start doing this more often. Plus, a new chapter in our life starts: UTAH! I can not say that this has been a great movie. So far it has not. At least not to me. But I figure…
Just a quick post here. I have been off work since Thursday and it seems like it is not long enough. Part of it is because we were unable to get out of town for the long weekend, and this would have been the perfect weekend to do so, because it is so hot. But…
So I took a little extra time to write a post, and had the weekend which was full of stuff and such. I can not really tell you how much I am wanting the summer to end. To be in the 90s would be so nice. And that is really hot still, but I really…
So it has been two weeks since I have posted anything at all. My Twitter has been somewhat silent and Facebook is a little off as well. I need to get re-energized about the entire web thing. I am just kind of burnt out on everything: computer, school, work, paying bills, etc. It is not…
So it is now Saturday once again. And it is already August. What the heck happened to July? Anyway, I am starting to become more and more upset about the political state of things in this country. I have figured I am going to start a new site/blog/e-zine to review the current state of all…
OK, it has been a couple weeks since I have posted. I have been real busy with work and then with the end of my class, the final project, yadda yadda yadda. But now I am back and will start posting once again weekly. I am sure everyone is thrilled about this. Some thoughts I…
Today is the 4th of July. A day we celebrate the founding of our country. I think back to the funny Simpsons line where Homer goes into a Kwik-E-Mart and asks to buy some illegal fireworks. After the back and forth, he is finally led into the back room where he purchases this awesome firework,…
OK, since I am so busy right now, and have very little time, it looks like I will be posting on a Saturday instead of a Friday. Anywhoo, I could get all serious about the monstrosity that is in the nations capital now. The idiots in DC who claim they represent us have ignored the…
OK, so I am a day late in making this post. Yeah I know. I have been stressed this past week. I am actually surprised I did not have a heart attack or spontaneous combustion happen. But yesterday was my daughter’s birthday and we all celebrated and had fun. Well, let me rephrase that, everyone…
So I am trying to be a little more active on Facebook, and Twitter, but I find it all too horrible. But then I look at my blog and see that nothing has been posted since April, so this must also be a bane, as no one here posts anything. So I am going to…
2008, you have been a beast. You have given me some of the good things, but you have been a real sourpuss. Why? You brought job loss, health issues, broken fingers, bad economy, bad elections, and now on your way out you give me the cold?! WTH? What did I ever do to you 2008?…
So on Thanksgiving, we went to my dads house in Mesa. We came back to Chandler around 7:30 pm that Thursday night. In Mesa it started to rain pretty hard, when it broke, I told Elise, “Let’s get the kids in the car and get going while there is a break in the rain”. We…
Real quick. I am needing to update this site again. So, if you are one of the lucky few who read this blog, and come to find that it is down, do not worry, the world has not ended, nor has the interwebs been broken. I am more than likely just updating the site and…
It is now the last week in October. And yet it still gets hot during the day. Freaking Arizona. I say we all just move out of this crazy state and go to either Portland, or England. OK, maybe I am being a little too dramatic here. But wouldn’t that be wild? A mass exodus…
I think the best new music group is a band called the Wombats. For a long time it was Blur, but since they are on permanent hiatus now, the Wombats have been putting out the best stuff lately. Go to You Tube, check it out. I even put in one of their songs on the…
I put a music player on the site. I just have to now figure out how I want to really incorporate this in the theme. And it only allows MP3 files, so anything I download from iTunes (which is evilly put in a m4p format) I can not put in there. But if you know…
So I am tired of Arizona, want to move, England would still be my first choice, but I do have a few people counting on me now. My kids like the Fulton Elementary school, my wife can not be further than 200 yards away from her parents house, and now I am stuck. Should I…
After I graduated, I was doing interviews all over the place. I was talking to many head hunters here in Arizona, a couple in Texas, and a couple back east, in South Carolina and Kentucky, a couple in Portland, OR and a few in California. My favorite in all of these, overall, was the job…
On April 09, 2008, I was taken into a conference room at work, and told that the company is restructuring, and that my position was not in the new structure. So I was escorted back to my desk, and hovered over while I packed my belongings. It was an embarrassing event. I was not allowed…
I am now back in the States, and London was great. I flew out of Marrakech on Friday midday, and landed in London late afternoon. We took the trains from Gatwick Airport to Victoria Station and then rode the tubes. That city has mass transit perfected. Great set of maps, tubes, and can get you…
As I am trying to go thru pics to post for my layover in London to post on line, here is a TV show that was voted in the NME awards as the best TV show in Britain, if I understood the drunk sods on this awards show. It is called the Mighty Boosh. Let…
So we have gone thru a couple of days so far now, and it has been mostly meetings. Some good, some boring. The good news is we nailed our presentation and almost everyone enjoyed it. Which was a real big success for us. Now if I only been able to get Morgan Freeman to do…
The first day was good, the second, not so good. Meetings and meetings. Too many meetings. And to top all of that off, I think I either lost the power cable for my camera, or did not pack it. Elise says it is not at home, so it must be lost. So my picture taking…
So I made it the full day. And it did not start too well. I actually slept last night, which is a change from any time before. I had a meeting at 9am here, and I woke up at 9:15. So I had to hurry, shower, and then run out the door. Once I did…
