"High School Musical" Again?

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my parents for subjecting them to hour upon hour of the same movies over the years.

"We'll see"

A Zen master observes the people of his village celebrating a young boy's new horse as a wonderful gift. "We'll see," the Zen master says. When the boy falls off the horse and breaks a leg, everyone says the horse is a curse. "We'll see," says the master. Then war breaks out, the boy cannot be conscripted because of his injury, and everyone now says the horse was a fortunate gift. "We'll see," the master says again.

Sometimes a good 10 minute conversation at the end of the day makes all the frustration of the day worth it.

Hell Yeah!

Don't let anyone tell you any different...Cloverfield kicks ass!

3 nights missed

It's been a long week. Too much time spent taking care of the house and working. Not enough time spent enjoying and reflecting. I don't like that. That said, I did get to enjoy Jimmie and her first Mardi Gras parade. "Hey mister, throw me a Moon Pie(R)."

It's been a good day

Sometimes it does seem like I'm not getting anywhere; but on days like today it is really good to know that I am wanted.

Concern

There seem to be a large number of people around me who are having relationship problems. Is this an odd thing, or am I just missing something in my own life?

Snow Day

It really was worth 5 hours on the road to enjoy 2 hours of Jimmie's first snow day.

My Friday Nights

I missed another Friday night. Really, my weekends aren't that busy. I should be able to do this.

Everything Old Is New Again

"You know, that comment field that is at the bottom of the form...it's actually used for leaving comments about what ever you're working on."

The New Guy

One more on the team now means that I might now possibly be considered to become (at least) the interim team lead. It seems like I have been here before.

1.14.2008

Crap!

I knew that I would miss a day.

1.12.2008

That's the way it goes

I finally get the motivation to get some things done around here, and I no longer have the energy to act on that motivation.

Not really AWOL

Sorry I missed last night's post, but I actually got a night out with my wife. I'll be sure to make up for it with two posts today (1 down already).

Eeyore

While Eeyore is an entertaining cartoon character, his disposition is not that endearing in a real person.

Obligations

Obligatory nightly post (damn this is more difficult then I thought).

1.08.2008

Getting it right

Hailee says I am, but I'm not so sure.

First Day of School

When I was in school I used to love the first day; but now I'm married to a teacher and I know better.

Daily Reflection

It's not that easy to take time out of every day and reflect.

1.05.2008

How did they make it?

How I lived for close to two years without a microwave is a mystery to me.

1.04.2008

End of the week

And now it's time to plan my trip to Vegas.

1.03.2008

Mind your own business

I have to learn how to keep my focus and stop worrying about missing something.

1.02.2008

Back to Work?

The worst thing about a 2 week vacation is realizing you never were that productive anyway.

1.01.2008

Starting A-New

After all was done for the day, I was able to sit with Jimmie and go through her baby book.
