Another Blog for Work

For those of you who don't know what I do for a living, you can start to check out my new blog that I write for DataDirect (the company I work for). It's here: http://www.jdbc-connection.com. The first blog is all about how to use our drivers with WLM (work load manager) on zOS systems. Useful if you ask me.

In other news, we had a splendid time at Dave's this weekend, Christopher looks just like him (poor kid). It poured down rain but Dave braved the elements to grill a mighty tasty burger. It was also the first time I really had hummice; it was quite tasty. My palette isn't really that developed but for a load of mashed up beans it was good.

Luke is still crawling all over the place, and he thinks it's really funny when you chase him (or he chases you). He and Seth get along really well, Seth shares his stuff and makes sure to take small objects from him like a big brother should. Seth's current favorite game at bedtime is "See, See". You basically take a little toucan light and wave it around the room and say:

See, See what do you see?
I see a ______, that's what I see!

And when you fill in the blank with something (smoke detector, fan, airplane made of cans, etc...) you stop moving the light around and just highlight the object you're looking at. It's a fun game to play with a 4 year old.

Oh, Celena wants me to start tracking my happiness and stress levels. Today was a medium stress, meduim happy day. :)

Today

Not much happened today. I met a college roomate for lunch at SAS, and we had a good time. Dave is a pretty fun guy and now that he's a Dad, we have more in common. We're planning on having a cookout at their house Saturday and we'll have alot of fun; assuming that the children behave themselves.

In other news, we completely re-arranged the study. We should get some blinds in this week to finish it off and paint the doors and rehang them. It's nice to be in a clean and well-organized space!

My New iPhone

Well, I finally got the ultimate gadget in my opinion. Some people will complain about it in one way or another, but I don't have any. I really think it may be better than a tricorder!! ....and in case you're wondering, yes, I updated this blog from my new phone. :)
