Yes, It’s Another “Where’s Mr Papa?”
August 1, 2008
Where in the heck did the last week go? It was nothing but a blur. That’s good in some respects and bad in others. As to my website updates, it was bad. Sorry for the lack of updates over the last week.
A pop up business trip opportunity became available for next week and it has nice potential. So of course, spent a lot of time the last week prepping for the trip. It’s probably a 2 hour meeting, but a day of travel each way. Luckily, its to a beach town on the Ocean, so will definitely get some ocean time. 
I have also been hard at work on the wordpress simple:press forum plugin that I help develop. A few weeks ago we got out a bug fix and minor change version to the community. Now, for the first time in a while, we are actually working on adding some cool new features which means more fun coding than bug fixes. If interested, you can follow the development along on our trac site.
Savannah also decided she wanted a website. She has been really getting into youtube – as you probably have noticed with the recent videos we have posted here. She has quite a group of “friends” over there and is constantly exchanging messages and such. Of course, that means we have to go through there periodically and check up on the who/what/etc.
So in addition to the youtube stuff, she decided she wanted a blog. So I obliged here and created her a blog. On her blog, she wants to review movies, tv shows, music, video games and other stuff. If family members want to email us for a link we will be happy to send it along to you so you can check out its humble beginnings. I haven’t posted it here, just to keep the two blogs unassociated.
Suzanne and the kids have been busy dancing, as usual. The Summer Recital is tomorrow night so there has been a rash o dress rehearsals. Mr Papa will be in the audience enjoying the show.
The kids start back to school next week so Suzanne is happy. She gets all her free time back to herself. The kids, of course, would rather see the Summer season extended. They have been busy during the Summer preparing a powerpoint presentation on some of the places we will be going on our Cruise this fall and kind of picking where they want to go in the ports. We will have a big family gathering not too far in the future to review these and solidify the cruise port plans.
With the exception of the business trip next week, I hope to resume regular blogging patterns soon.
Vacation Finally Here!
June 28, 2008
Well, finally its here! A vacation. Right about now, we are jetting our way to Michigan for a little family reunion. I am in desperate need of a vacation as this will essentially be my first of the year. We did take a week back in March for a Pechuls family reunion, but I was sick for 5 days and it wasn’t much of a vacation.
The whole immediate Klasen family will be gathering in Michigan for a week’s worth of fun. We will take the obligatory trip up to Frankenmuth, MI – and no, I won’t be trying to set a new record for number of chicken breasts eaten. We will take in the wonderful Bronners Christmas store while there.
We will also spend a few days on the beach of Lake Huron. While there, we will go deep sea fishing one day. The rest of the time will be spent enjoying each others company. It will be a wonderful chance for the kids to see the cousins, Aunts/Uncles and Grammy that they don’t get to see enough with everyone scattered around the Country.
It will also be nice to leave the 100 – 110 degree temperature spell we have been having here in Southeastern Arizona. The monsoon might have finally arrived as the thunderstorms have come roaring in the last two days in the late afternoon. Michigan hasn’t yet started to heat up, so the cooler weather will be nice.
While on the trip, I will try to post some updates as to the fun we are having. I might even manage to get a photo or video or two posted too. See ya on the other side of the vacation!
