I have stolen my father’s motorcycle back. He was in town for a couple of weeks, so I made sure I gave his bike back – all clean and fully serviced. But, as he’s now gone again, it’s open season on his vehicles! So, I went and picked it up on Sunday. I’ve been riding [...]

Working from home these last two days has been wonderful. I’ve been able to see my wife each and every day, and go upstairs and sleep in my own bed every night. I just have to keep focused. That’s the big problem with working at home – distraction. Of course, I do get to work [...]

Bentonville, Arkansas is quite the boomtown these days. Of course, if Wal-Mart ever goes under, this town is in serious trouble. I haven’t seen much of the town itself, but from what I’ve seen most buildings are new, including new subdivisions and homes. They’re even expanding my hotel – which took a little effort to [...]

Looks like I’ll get to add a new airport to my list: XNA – this is Fayetteville/NW Arkansas airport. I’ll be going to Bentonville, AR for the remainder of the week. While I’m not too pleased that my week of studying for the Exchange exams is interrupted, I am yet at the demand of my [...]

Working from home is great! I finally get to use my office and phone headset and multiple computers to perform my job. Not knowing where I need to be next is still annoying though. I think I may have to stay on this project to help transition people – especially since they are having difficulty [...]

Today is the last day for me in this office. Tomorrow, I will fly home – never to return. I’m kinda sad, but I’m also happy that I’ll be spending all week next week at home. I’ll even be working in my office at the house on project documentation. Then: I’m available for re-assignment… It’s [...]

That’s what one woman says about a monument in honor of William Mosure, a key funder of the Star of Hope Mission, a Houston-based Christ-centered charity which provides shelter, food, clothing, education and recovery programs to those who have fallen on hard times. This mission has made a significant impact on the lives of thousands [...]

I have done it. I “service packed” my work laptop. They told me not to, but I did it anyway. I’ve been running it all day and haven’t noticed any loss in functionality, so I guess I’m okay. I even checked the most frequently used ‘business critical’ [hours tracking and expense tracking] applications and they [...]

I looked at the weather for Houston today: 95 – feels like 107. Yeah. Hot. Here, the weather was: 73 – feels like 73. Nice. Unfortunately, my tenure in Portland is drawing to a close. [Or rather, fortunately since I get to spend some time at home - which rarely happens.] Next week is my [...]

I have upgraded the Gallery software on my web site so that now I am at the most current version. Not only that, this new version has an RSS feed. If you don’t know what that is, you should probably do a web search as I can’t rightly explain it to you. However, I have [...]
