Family Update 3/2/07
March 2, 2007
Wow, been three days since my last post. I have been really enjoying rediscovering America’s Army. I havent been playing it too much until the last couple of days. So, what’s going on…
Since Suzanne forgot to take her camera to the Showstopper Dance Competition in Phoenix a couple of weekends ago, we dont have any pictures. One of the other dads who was there recently gave her a CD with a mess of pictures from the competition. So, we are cleaning them up and should get them posted up here this weekend. Be on the watch for them!
Tomorrow, Savannah goes to Young Authors. To qualify for the event, you have to write a story and have it judged one of the best in the school. Then, the winners go on a bus trip somewhere (Phoenix? or Tucson?) for an event where authors speak and you can meet childrens authors. There is also writing workshops and such. Or at least thats how I understand it. Sean has been to several of them and really enjoyed them. This will be Savannah’s first trip and she is really excited. She has to be at the school at 6:00 am tomorrow, so I guess we dont get a late Saturday sleep in. Luckily, we dont have to go.
I have recently began in earnest again my workout regime. I havent been able to do much lately since something happened to my foot in November. I feel really out of shape right now. I have been getting on the treadmill most days after work.  Today was a day off but I went out there anyways. After about 12 minutes, the treadmill shut dow. This is like the third time in the last year or so it has died. The last few times it has been a fuse, but this still cant be good. I wonder if someone is telling me dont workout 
 It might be time for a new treadmill. This one doesnt owe us anything as its over 10 years old.
Alright, back to a night of Americas Army…
Back To Normal
February 25, 2007
It’s time to get back to more normality tomorrow. It’s been a hectic start of the year at work. It culminated in the business trip last week. The kids and Suzanne also get back to normal with a regular dance week and a full week of school.
We had a nice relaxing weekend and are ready for the week. We watched several movies this weekend, Chronicles of Narnia and Firewall. Firewall was a very watchable movie. Sean and I manage to play a bit of Xbox 360 and I discovered I have missed it a bit as I haven’t played much lately. Between working late and then working on a couple of new websites I am trying to launch, there just hasnt been much time. Actually, one site is new and one is a complete redo of an existing website.
The 158th site has been running the same look for about 19 months now. It’s time to change the appearance, plus I want to change CMS’es. That’s the most challenging part to get some of the existing functionality to work in the new CMS – which by the way, will be wordpress versus php-nuke. I also found time this weekend to play about 5 hours of America’s Army with my clanmates. It’s been awhile since I have spent that much time with them. I still like that game. We also a scrim this weekend and were victorious. It was on my favorite map, SF Hospital and we won 11 – 3. I led the way for our team with 19 kills. It felt good to be back into the game.
I think its time to spend a bit less on the websites and maybe spend more time playing Xbox 360 and AA. Of course, that’s only when the family is dancing. When they are home, it’s time to get back to movies. We used to watch about 12 – 15 movies a month. That’s dropped to maybe 4 lately. It was fun watching a couple this weekend. Don’t worry, I will still be posting and keep Mr Papa’s World up to date but the days of 6 – 8 hours working on websites will have to slow down. It may just take longer to launch the new sites.
