My life and times
I went to the UCF game tonight, and had a great time with my boss Ben. We got to sit in the President’s box, and it was pretty incredible. Great food, great people, great game. And we won for the first time in a LOOOONG time, 23-13. We had the longest [...]
I got a Mac today. It rules. Sign me up, it makes me want to go work for a Mac software company. Tiger is so great, I can’t believe it. My Dad really needs to get a new Mac - maybe he could hand down his current one to a grandchild [...]
Had another tour of FIEA, and before heading home, Tommy and I went down to the OWC to checkout Simon and his new sport.
Needless to say, he looked awesome, and was having a blast. This place basically tries to mimic what it’s like to wakeboard behind a boat with a machine not [...]
Took off Monday morning bright and early to recruit students from Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill and Washington University in St. Louis. Flight was full but uneventful, and the drive to Carbondale from the St. Louis Airport was a piece of cake. Going through territory like that makes me sad, because I [...]
Work definitely heated up this week, that’s for sure. I would say this week was 20 hours FIEA, 60 hours EA. We’ve got some pretty lofty goals for E3, so I think the next 4 weeks are going to be pretty insane. I’m going up to St. Louis on Monday morning for [...]
I want to post. No really, I want to. But after I don’t post for a few days, it’s like I have too much to talk about, and it seems like a daunting proposition to post everything I need to. I get “stuff” built up, and then it would take too long(like [...]
I tell ya, this American Idol thing is really heating up. Last week’s first vote out show was pretty tough to watch, but I must say I’m pretty pumped up about tomorrow night’s version. My girl had a tough night, but she’ll be back. I don’t know what I’ll do if she [...]
Between opening day at Lake Mary Little League, the Orlando Magic Cheer competition, my cousin Nikki’s baby shower and going out to dinner with my Uncle Fred and Aunt Martha, it was a reasonably busy weekend. I even managed to level up my Warcraft character, get some new clothes shopping started, give my [...]
Picture this…You move to Lake Mary, Florida from Salt Lake City, Utah 16 months ago. You get on a Little League baseball team (the White Sox) that seems pretty cool at first, but then it quickly turns south when the coach realizes you’re not a very good hitter. He tells you that all [...]
Olivia did great at her cheer competition at Sea World yesterday, and was pretty pumped up about it all day long. Her team bounced back from their subpar performance at Jacksonville to take home the top prize.
We’ve buckled down in our house in hopes of getting 3 A’s in Math this term. If [...]
I have to say, I definitely love this part of American Idol. It goes from the tryouts (now) to Hollywood, where they narrow the field to 24. Once they narrow it down, it gets less interesting to me.
Contrast that to the part of the project I’m currently working on at work. [...]
For all of you who say I never spend any time with my boys, this post is for you.
I started out by taking Tommy over to one of Tina’s friend’s house to get their xbox live working. I guess they had asked several neighbors to come over to help, and nobody in [...]
Simon had a game tonight, and it was easily the worst of the season. His team got killed, and he only got 1 AB and struck out. His team faced a really good pitcher and couldn’t get anything going, losing the game 15-1. Their last game is Wednesday night against the same [...]
Some of you may remember I got Simon tickets to the Detroit Lions v. Jacksonville Jaguars for his birthday. Turns out the game is today, so we’re heading up there, and since it takes about 2 hours to get there, we’ll be heading out about 9:30 or so. Another nice thing is that [...]
Simon is home sick today, and I’m getting a rather late start after finally getting my blog working and somewhat formatted last night. I’m not sure what he has or anything, but this baseball getting him to bed around 10 is for the birds, I tell ya. I’m looking forward to that being [...]
