Kham and Kari came to visit – got here yesterday afternoon and left today. I had to work today, but still got to spend some time with them. Kham and I even got to play some music together. Can’t remember the last time that happened (in person I mean). Its [...]


The Monsters

Published on August 26, 2005

Jamey’s dedication is on Sunday and the church wanted a picture to use, so I finally got to a scanner. Cute kids, despite the funky looking dad they got stuck with.
Speaking of Jamey, he started crawling yesterday. Now that’s one of the HUGE benefits of working from home… Sarah called me out and I got [...]


Take my Job – please!

Published on August 22, 2005

Hmm… So I’m actually having a hard time getting myself laid off. Who’d a thunk it? I thought it might not happen until very late in the year, but now it may not happen at all. Correction… if it does happen, it will mean me quitting rather than me taking a package. [...]


Sunday Evening Speculation

Published on August 21, 2005

Cleaning up the living room for another round of LOTR and cobbler (we’re on to Return of the King) and I was serenaded by the tunes of three different baby toys.
Who are these horrible people that make noisy toys that you can’t turn off? So when you’re unloading sleepy kids from a car after [...]

Drama

Published on

We’re watching our way back through the extended Lord of the Rings dvd’s again (something we do every 6-9 months) and I’m just amazed at how good it still is. I honestly don’t think there will ever be another movie, or set of movies that I will enjoy as much as those. Geeky [...]


Friday Ramblings and Rantings

Published on August 19, 2005

Met with my men’s group again this morning. We actually lost one guy a few weeks ago. He and his family up and moved to eastern Colorado. Its kind of funny – we were sitting around trying to figure out who else we could get to come (not that we need four [...]


Grumblings and Campout Details

Published on August 16, 2005

Ugh. A frustrating day. Having trouble getting something moving forward on a project for my HP job. Haven’t had time to get back over to Dave’s and fix his network. Up against a wall on the hardest part of my program… and then there’s the kicker. I figured out that I’ve been doing a part [...]


A Million Directions

Published on August 15, 2005

No time to post this morning, since I had to get caught up on Dan’s Blog , Devin’s Blog , and the monstrosity that is Mike’s Blog . Holy long posts, Batman.
Good stuff though, and so fun to have this going on. I’m really enjoying staying in touch more closely.

Let’s Go Camping

Published on August 12, 2005

Sarah grew up on a 50 acre ranch outside of Modesto, with lots of horses, dogs, cats, chickens and space. Lots of space. They also have a pond, and sometimes in the summer they would do camp-outs down there with her Dad, Uncle and others.
This weekend we’re doing it with our [...]
