Blog changes

Hi, and thanks for stopping by! We've made some big changes to the blog - including shutting it down! With social networking and micro-blogging these days, there's no need for us to blog. So check out the latest on our homepage, and thanks for visiting.

Wow – last week was just nuts. Let’s start with work… I’ve been very busy, but that comes with pros and cons. Pros are obvious: work more, make more money. Ah, the joys of entrepreneurship. The cons to that is I missed the gym 3 days in a row, by Saturday my bum knee was acting up and by Sunday my carpal tunnel was back. Not only that, but my sleep schedule was messed up, too.

Friday night we went to a sing-a-long & bonfire at Crosby Field. It was pretty darn cold out then, too. When we got home I watched the UB Bulls game, but fell asleep before the final… go Bulls!

Saturday morning was a holiday breakfast at the kids school, which included crafts & games. Then I worked some more, then got ready to go out with Laura. We went out to dinner, tried to do some shopping (we went to 3 stores, and none had the toy I was looking for), then went to the Trans Siberian Orchestra concert at HSBC Arena. What an amazing show! I got lots of good ideas for next year’s Christmas lights

I was back to work after the show, and got to witness a rarity… a thunderstorm with snow! At first, I thought my light display blew-up. It was pretty impressive, but didn’t drop too much snow.

Sunday started like any other Sunday, heading to Church; Jason made it interesting with a stomach bug (I won’t get into the details, but let’s just say puke freezes at 20° in about 5 minutes). When we got home, I decided to get my Christmas shopping done.. an hour later and orders placed with Amazon & others, I was done… I love shopping online BTW – Amazon had the toy I was looking for the other day.

Sunday night finished with dinner at the Bishop’s, where we had a 2005 Hardys Oomoo Unwooded Chardonnay. I finally found a white wine that I like! I think this was my 5th bottle of white that I’ve tried; the others were either too fruity & syrupy or too dry. Then my father-in-law broke out The Glenlivet and threatened to disown me if I didn’t like it. Wow… I have to get some of this. Very smooth. I was under pressure to like it, but it really was good stuff.

So this morning, with the alarm clock to the other side of my bedroom, which forced me to get out of bed to turn it off, I actually got up at 5AM to go to the gym. If the alarm was still right next to me, there’s no way I was going to get up… it was only 17° out this morning, and since we don’t heat our bedroom, getting out of bed to turn off the alarm was shocking. But I got up & made it to the gym! Hopefully I can finish up at a reasonable time tonight & make it 2 days in a row!

Now I’m sitting here… waiting for some keywords to process. Yeah, back to work.
