I’m at a break for my night class. Its twice a week for four hours a night for the entire month of June (+ two days the last week of May). I’m glad I’m doing it because I’m still three years + from getting my MBA so anything that I take helps but it drags [...]

So its 2007 and by the end of the year I plan on buying a new car. It will be my first new car and I’m excited about it. I’ve been talking to friends, talking to my wife, and mostly talking to my Dad about the plans. I’m sure he’s happy because his computer and [...]

Do I really hold to it? No. Do I say I will try? Sure – and I’ll try again. Work has been rather more stressful than usual lately. It just seems that my workload keeps piling up with projects of indefinate length, all along with my normal work. I’m hopeful that I can get ahead [...]

As most of my friends and family know, I’m a big fan of fantasy novels. One of my favorite and at the same time least favorite things about these books are their size and scope. Usually as a minimum these books are several hundred pages, and three books each. Many of them are a lot [...]

Diana and I went to the Celebration of Celts festival up in Columbia County, NY. We had a lot of fun there. There was great music, especially a Canadian band called Greenwich Mean Time, and some of the pipe bands that were there. We spent time looking around at the festival stands, and I couldn’t [...]

Well I just got my last Wisdom Tooth out yesterday. Guess that means I’m no longer wise. Either way, I’m feeling like crap today because of it. Sometimes I wish I just got all four out at once, but instead, they’ve come out one at a time (August 2003, January 2004, February 2006, and March [...]
