I had a splendiferous birthday this past week! Spent the day with my lovely wifey doing odds and ends around the house, doing some yard work, and planting a rose bush Kalyn got for her birthday. In the evening we got pizza and hung out while I did some work from home.
This weekend was loads of fun, if only it didn’t have to be over so quickly. Saturday Kalyn and I headed into Springfield. Joe Fetters and I went biking on the Frisco Highline trail while our wives visited the mall and sundry other shopping locations. The biking was quite enjoyable. The weather was absolutely perfect. We covered about 16 miles of trail – not too bad considering I haven’t done much riding at all in about 3 years. Thanks Joe & Christine for an awesome weekend hanging out with y’all.
Today Kalyn and I went and picked up a new gas grill for our back deck – thanks Matt & Trina and the Currys We’ll definitely have many summer evening cookouts with the new barbie. We’ve also been having quite the fun playing Halo 2 with the Xbox Live subscription – thanks Stan & Krystal and Colie & Brenda for the Xbox gear I have a long way to go before I become anywhere near competitive, but I’m having fun!
My ‘day job’ has had some interesting twists and turns in the last several weeks. Our release department finished upgrading customers to the current version of software, and the development group won’t have a new version ready for release for several months. So, they’ve moved me over to another group doing very similar work moving customers to new servers when they run out of storage space. On top of that, we seem to be playing musical supervisors. I’m told that will be solved tomorrow, and from what I hear, it should be an ideal scenario for me.
Tomorrow is our 2nd anniversary… I’ve definitely been blessed with the absolutely best wife ever!
So there you have an update from the Zman. If anyone’s interested in my new Xbox Live gamertag, drop me a line, and I’ll ponder whether I want to allow you to beat up and kill me online
