Some Holiday Cheer

December 20, 2004

In the spirit of Christmas, I felt that a little change in the layout of the site was needed. Enjoy!

I Used to Love My Cable Connection

December 20, 2004

Well, once again my cable connection is out. I used to love my cable modem, but now I’m not very happy with it. It snowed (really freezing rain, followed by snow) tonight, so I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I placed a call to Comcast and they will have a tech [...]

Ellie’s Dance Recital

December 16, 2004

I had great pleasure of attending Ellie’s first dance recital. The recital was part of her last Ballet and Fairy Tales class. They started off showing the parents all of their warm up exercise, followed by all of the steps that they had learned. The recital at the end of the class highlighted all of [...]

Good Trip, Great Food

December 15, 2004

My one day trip to Tampa, Florida went without any hitches. The plane ride was fine. We had a very productive meeting. It started basically the moment we landed and continued non-stop until the plane took off to take us home. Needless to say we were beat by the time we got home. One of [...]

Leaving on a Jet Plane

December 13, 2004

Tomorrow morning I fly to Florida (Tampa area) just for the day. I am going to visit an accounting and project management software vendor, BST, that we are evaluating for use at our firm. While I typically do not mind flying, I’m a little anxious about this flight for some reason. It will be a [...]

Rough Night

December 10, 2004

Sarah had a really rough time last night. Here cold has progressed, and she now wakes up coughing stuff out of her lungs. On top of that, we think that she is having some reaction the vaccinations that she received at her doctor’s visit on Wednesday. Sarah is typically a very happy baby, smiling all [...]

Big Baby

December 9, 2004

Sarah had her 4 month checkup yesterday. She is doing great (except for a small cold that she is dealing with). Her stats are 17 lbs 14 oz and 25 3/4 inches long. Her weight is “off the charts” at just over the 97th percentile and her others are at or above the 90th percentile. [...]

They Finally Accepted Liability

December 9, 2004

After 2 weeks, AIG (the other guy’s insurance company) has finally accepted liability. That means that thing can now move forward in getting the van repaired. We now have a rental minivan. It’s a Ford, not as nice as the Odyssey, but better than nothing. The van is being towed to the body shop where [...]

Chuck E. Cheese use Linux

December 6, 2004

We were at Chuck E. Cheese yesterday for a birthday party. One of the games/machines was not working, specifically it was the Photo Sketch Booth. It is a little booth where you sit down, it takes a photo then pretends to draw the picture with a pencil. Anyway, the device was down, so one of [...]

Updated Book List

December 3, 2004

I’ve updated my Book List. The list is the running collection of all of the books that I have either read or listened to on tape (unabridged of course) since January 1, 2004.
When I used Movable Type for my blog system, I had a great plugin that let me create my booklist. In moving to [...]
