I just finished watching the debate (yeh, everyone has an opinion) and I really drew some interesting things from it. Sounds like Kerry lectured while Bush talked to the people. Also sounds like Kerry just told the swing voters what they wanted to hear, without telling them how he was going to raise the crap…

Ok, I know that I got one. Well needed. Chris is still sleeping as well and will probably stay in bed until she hits the 12 hour mark (at least). I know that a full night sleep can do wonders for making you feel better. My vanity call came through. I’m now NQ5I. Will keep…

Finally got her pain under control, and she is home safe and sound!

Well, it has been a long day. I’m off to bed myself. Chris is doing better, slowly but surely. Don’t know when she is coming home yet, it really depends on how well she progresses in her pain management. Thank you all for thinking of her and we are all looking forward to her return…

Nickle to quarter sized kidney stone all busted up and she is on her way to feeling better. Relief is being spread around for everyone!

Welp, Chris decided that instead of enjoying an easy pregnancy that she would rather try to pass a kidney stone instead. I’m up here at the hospital (have been most of the weekend) and we are waiting for her pre-op stuff to start. She’s finally comfortable again and the baby is doing great. The kiddo…

Hey folks, shameless plug here. I found this company called Panavise that makes all different kinds of mounting devices for cell phones, cameras, basically anything you wanna stick on a mount in a car. They have these InDash mounts which make use of factory hardware on your auto, and create a bracket for mounting your…

So Ivan sure is taking his sweet old time figuring out what to do. And now Jeanne is starting to get organized as well. Forecasts were predicting a very active hurricane season this year, but I don’t think everyone thought it would keep hitting the same areas time and time again. Work has been VERY…

Went to GrapeFest today! All week we have been thinking that it would be very unseasonably cool out there and boy were we wrong. That’s one of the funny things about McKinney. We get much different weather sometimes from the rest of the metroplex. It was a full 6 degrees cooler up here. Bummer, cause…

Austin was pretty fun for the day! Very nice weather, and the traffic was decent. I was in the Town Lake area (around the 360 area). Gorgeous. Met James for lunch, and argued with our corporate travel agent to get me home early. I really dislike people who will not admit a mistake. Guster and…

Busier than all get out, but thats to be expected after a 3-day weekend. I’m off to Austin tomorrow and judging by the workload presented to me, I don’t think I’ll be staying. James and I will grab us a beverage of some sort and I’ll head back to Dallas. At any rate, I need…

Was pretty nice this weekend! For Texas anyway. Today was absolutely gorgeous. We did get a cold front last night and it certainly showed. I enjoyed a long Labor Day tradition of many folks today with the cookout. Granted, it was only for the wife, baby in the oven and my parents, but it was…

Got back yesterday and the weather here was not as bad as I was expecting. Yes, it is warm, but I was expecting warmer. Hopefully fall will begin its arrival as September arrives. Labor Day Weekend! We’ll be making our way out to the farm for a short stay, but hopefully the weather will hold…

So I’m walking back to my hotel after checking on a few things here at the office (they are right across the street from each other so its easy. Oh and the St. Paul Hotel does not have high speed internet….), I happen to walk by a construction worker who is cutting through some concrete.…
