Tonight was Christmas with my mom’s side of the family, it went pretty well. My cousins were in from North Carolina, I was shocked to find out that the youngest of the crew is turning to the Dark Side of the Force. By that I mean that he is adopting the non-conformist conformist guise of […]

I just noticed that I got paid! December was a long month with both Christmas and two significant family member’s birthdays.

What a great night last night… a whole class full of “out of the mold” karate training led surprisingly by Oedewaldt! After it was over, , and one of my wife’s work friends came over for some spice cake that we made two days ago. It was gloriously good, and much merriment was had by […]

I got the first support call of my vacation time this morning, apparently my previous team coworkers thought I wanted to answer questions about one of the tools I rewrote at 9:15 am. I brushed them off pretty quickly, and I was so awake that I decided to schedule myself an eye exam so I […]
