I spent pretty much all week working on a really tough application problem in system test.  It wasn’t my code but took ownership of the problem because I wanted to make sure that it got resolved.  I think we got the problem fixed this morning after pretty much all week working on it.  I was [...]

After work today Jen and I went to the Dollar Store to buy some supplies for Lisa’s upcoming suprise birthday party.  As we drove out there, we passed by the ‘Curry Curry’ Thai restaurant and it made me think about the wonderful Fried Rice we had from there recently. So while we were in the [...]

Jen and I opened up one of the bottles of wine that Scott gave me for my birthday recently. It was a 2003 French wine from Chateau Phelan Segur and I think from the Saint-Estephe region. It was pretty good.

I slept in very late this morning, not waking up until about 1pm (counting for the clocks being changed). When I woke up I adjusted the clocks. I checked the tivos and noticed that they were still an hour behind. Thinking that they need a software upgrade, I plugged the phone line into them and [...]

Because I was up late last night I woke up later than normal – about 11am.  Jennifer, being the amazing person that she always is, cooked us breakfast this morning!  She fried eggs, toasted bread, and fried bacon.  We sat in the dining room and ate breakfast together.  It was really nice. Jen wanted to [...]

Work was pretty good today.  I actually completed a status report again this week – I’m on a roll!  In addition to other ‘work’, I cleaned out my email inbox and organized my task list.  I have a lot of work on my plate right now. Alex D, James E, and I went to Blanchard [...]

Once again I got a healthy nine hours of sleep last night. I decided that I wouldn’t try to ski today because there wouldn’t be a lot of time for that given that Jen and I are flying back to Atlanta this afternoon. (Jennifer looking mischievous while we pack) Instead we had breakfast and began [...]

I didn’t have to use the alarm this morning and woke up at about 7am on my own. It’s great getting nine hours of sleep last-night and the night-before-last. Before getting out of bed, I used the laptop to reconcile some transactions in Microsoft Money. Jen was able to help categorize most of the transactions [...]

I set the alarm this morning to wake us up at 7am but it was unnecessary. I woke up a little before 7am and Jen got up around the same time too. After getting ready, Jen and I each had a bowl of really good oatmeal for breakfast. I also had a glass of orange [...]

Jen and I woke up at 6am and got ready to head out for the airport. We left the house at 6:45am and made it down to the ‘Parking Spot’ twenty minutes later. Checking in for the flight and checking our bags was not a problem. Neither was getting through security. We made our way [...]
