Annoyed
I wasnt planning to write this but I decided I needed to get something off my chest. A little over an hour ago, I get a phone call from a project manager at my corporate head office asking me why I hadnt provisioned access to one of his team whom needs access to a server of mine here in the states. Frankly, I was planning to do it early Saturday ( Read more... ) -
End of the Holiday Hiatus
Today was very laid-back instead of the usual hustle and bustle of our weekends. Rylin and Ayden werent cooperative last night. Jessica woke up around 4:30am as Rylin was done with sleep. The two of them headed downstairs at 5:30 with Ayden joining them about an hour later. Its days like these where I pour my heart out to Jessica for all the love ( Read more... ) -
Goals of a New Year
I made the decision to restart my weight loss and strength training program that I started nearly three years ago.

Christmas 2009
Christmas is the most fun day of the year! Santa delivered, once again, yet my checking account is depleted again. The children got everything, within reason, they wanted. Jessica got a little more than she expected. Not only did she get a new purple iPod Nano, bath and body products, she also received a little something from Victorias Secret. Ive ( Read more... ) -
As Christmas Approaches
The past week has been trying. I learned something about myself, relationships, and being a father and although Id love to write paragraph upon paragraph of my findings, Ill simply leave you with this: listen, be attentive, and always remember that even though youre doing the right thing it doesnt always mean its the best thing ( Read more... ) -
The Day the Earth Stood Still
This evening I watched the IMAX presentation of The Day the Earth Stood Still and was impressed until the rather unimpressive ending showed and the credits began to roll. Keanu Reeves Klaatu was spot-on with Michael Rennies original from 1951. His unemotional presentation and demeanor were true to the original and like any Keanu film its either ( Read more... ) -
Tragedy in San Diego
It is extremely unfortunate that this happened near MCAS Miramar. I offer my condolences to the family who lost so much. The pilot will forever be traumatized by his action to eject from the aircraft instead of staying with it but with all the housing in and around San Diego it is likely he had no choice but to eject as there was no empty field he ( Read more... )
