Corvin was the first one up in the morning again. Danelle got up around 8:00 am to see Corvin laying next to Grandpa Monster on the sofa. Danelle was just about ready to take Corvin to the grocery store to try and get a start, but then everyone else started stirring. After waiting a couple … Continue reading “Family Vacation Day 5 – 6/6/2011”
At the Super8, Danelle and Sonora shared a bed, Hogan and Corvin shared a bed, and Bob took the floor. In the morning, Bob was up early. Danelle woke with Sonora’s feet in her back, only a few inches from falling out of bed. Hogan and Corvin were face to face, allowing for some great … Continue reading “Family Vacation Day 4 – 6/5/2011”
This morning, we did our first load of travel laundry. The lodge is very nice; too bad its stuck in the midst of a bunch of farm fields with a busy-ish highway on each side. It makes it a bit difficult to appreciate the scenery and bird calls when another pickup truck comes by every … Continue reading “Family Vacation Day 3 – 6/4/2011”

If you asked me a couple of years ago if I would ever outsource, I would tell you no way. I had seen an outsourcing project go quite wrong early in my career and never wanted to repeat that experience again. I should not have let one experience jade my view of outsourcing, but I … Continue reading “Rethinking Outsourcing”
I won’t post any photos for those of you that are squeamish, but Corvin had another accident. He was playing around and fell back, splitting open his head. This required a late night visit to the ER for 4 staples to close up the wound. Luckily, he didn’t start getting staples until he was well … Continue reading “6.16 ER Visit for Corvin”
It seems that I spent more time at the office this month than normal. Photos reflect mostly people at work. I took Demetrius for a hike over lunch where he fell about 10 feet after trying to walk across a tree that covered a ravine. He didn’t get seriously hurt and I have to admit … Continue reading “May 2011”
Sonora got her wish of having her birthday at Chuck E Cheese this year. It wasn’t one of those “official parties where they come out and sing to you, but just an informal gathering of family and friends. She got to have her cake and eat it too. One of the kids favorite rids is … Continue reading “5.15 Sonora’s 5th Birthday”
This is it. Its Monday and our last day of motorcycle madness. I’m getting used to the lifestyle but my reality tells me that there are more important things than the road for me today.
