    Ok, this will sound like a commercial – but in fear of letting this blog become too stale to even feed to the ducks in my neighborhood,  I’m gonna publish this. Have you ever wondered where all your hard drive space went?  My laptop currently has an 80 GB drive in it, and it’s about…

    Erica had her second birthday on the 21st, and she had a blast! 🙂  We decided to not have a party with a bunch of people over (can you imagine a house full of 2 year olds) and just had a small family thing together when I got home from work.  Erica had six kinds…

    Well, we are finally back from the extravaganza known as Christmas Vacation.  If anyone out there has yet to experience the pleasure of dealing with a 2 year old with stomach flu while on the road, let me assure you that it is not pleasant.  We started this *vacation* with a road trip to Idaho…

    Well, we finally got around to hauling out all the decorations.  We wound up discovering this year that we had a lot of stuff we really don’t like at all. So, off I go to the local second hand store to drop off some old stuff we thought was pretty neat a few years back……

    Erica has some big news…. Give up? That’s right, we’re having a new baby. 🙂  The due date is June 2 (which for those of you who know us pretty well may recognize that as Christine’s birthday!), and we have already heard the heartbeat. We’ll probably find out if it’s a boy or a girl…

    As I was growing up, every summer my family would make a pilgrimage to Nauvoo, IL to participate in the City of Joseph pageant held there.  As part of the annual tradition, at the cast picnic one of the original writers of the pageant would jump up on a picnic table and recite “Elmer and…

    So, the other day I finally decided to refactor the source for AG (anyone who knows me knows what that is, others who dont… well, ask!) and break the huge monotlitic binary into lots of little xml files.  Only problem is the fine folks at RS (again, ask) decided that it would make perfect sense…

    Ok, it’s not all that impressive, but I finally got around to setting up a weblog. Yes, it’s likely useless. No, I’m not planning to write stuff everyday. Maybe I will sometimes write something useful…
