Wow! Things are really smokin’ out here. I had a crazy good weekend in LA. On Saturday we went to Huntington Gardens in Pasedena. It’s huge. There were, of course, lots of open fields, huge trees, waterfalls, and ponds as well as themed gardens like the desert garden, the rose garden, and the Japanese garden. [...]

Isn’t it funny how one day you’re bored out of your mind wondering what it all means and if you should just chuck it and get out of the rat race and spend your time doing something you really like and the next day after getting a million dollars closer to the year end goal [...]

Okay, yeah, I’ve been neglecting the ol’ weblog a bit recently. Chalk it up to being caught up in the everyday aspects of life. I wish I had something of substance to post about, but nope. Peggy got a new cat. I went to the Cities yesterday and got a new book (C# Design Patterns: [...]

I had a pretty good weekend! We were originally going to go to Disneyland but ended up going to Phoenix instead. I had a 3 day weekend and it was great! Some friends of ours had a personal tragedy and we went to visit them. It would have been messed up to go to the [...]

Well Heather, if you were sick of the recall before, you’ve got to be approaching hospitalization status sick of it by now. But it’s almost over. How’s it going over there on the left coast?
