Enjoying Vacation
December 11, 2006
Ah what a feeling it was this morning to not head off to work and to get to sit in front of my computer all day and play around. Wait! Sit at my computer? Thats what I do at work all day… Oh well…
Actually, it is quite different. This is fun. I have a whole list of things that have been stacking up on my websites that I have been wanting to attend to and just havent found the time. Thats my plan for this vacation from work until Jan 2. Excluding the trip to the cabins in the mountains of New Mexico, of course.
I am still hoping to launch my new local community site around the first of the year, but am kind of beholding here to Suzanne. I need some artwork, photos and data that she is supposed to be working on. Thats more up her alley than mine. She is wanting to work on a review of the recent cruise for Cruise Talk. She also is the one who did the photos of the cruise here on Mr Papa’s World.
I have also come across of wealth of new family history information so I hope to make good progress in the genealogy department too. Right now, I am spending a fair amount of time updating the source information in the records for a lot of the data that I have. So, it wont be immediately visible but will provide a trail as to where the data came from.
Suzanne and the kids have a busy dance week ahead with the Xmas recital next weekend and thus I should have ample night time to work my computer magic also. Only drawback to my vacation this year is that the kids arent off from school very much. Usually we coincide better and play a bunch of boardgames. I guess we will save that for New Mexico.
Hard At Work
December 6, 2006
Sorry for the lack of activity here at Mr Papa’s World the past few days.
After the wonderful Thanksgiving Mexico cruise, I am hard at work trying to get some photos ready for upload. Suzanne is cleaning them up and I am readying them for upload. If all goes well, I should have them uploaded this weekend, though it may take a while longer to get them all captioned.
In addition, I am hard at work on another Klasen Genealogy update. While on the cruise, close to a dozen folks contacted me with questions and/or info about the data on my genealogy page. Some wondered how we were related, some wondered about my information, some provided some minor corrections and others provided me with additional information. Any new info has to be checked the best that I can for accuracy. I should have this update online this weekend also.
In addition, around the first of the year, I am trying to launch a community website for my rural little town of Sonoita, AZ. The site development is also consuming my time. I dont know how many of many neighbors will visit and contribute to the site, but I am gonna try it.
Whats going on with the family? Well, everyone is resting up from the recent cruise. While a lot of fun and very enjoyable, it was a lot of work and tiring. That’s one reason why we like sea days better than port days. Suzanne and the kids have their Christmas dance recital next weekend, so that should be fun. Sean competed in a school Vocabulary Bee today and won. So, now he takes a written test and could qualify to go to the State finals. He also recently won the school Geography Bee and will compete at the next level (cant remember if thats county or state). I never knew they had so many Bees.
Tomorrow is my last day at work until Jan 2, so I should have a bunch more free time. Hooah!
