So like, I haven't posted in awhile.  Even got the, "why don't you post?" comment, but just haven't been into it.  But hell, I'm back in.  In like Flynn.

I was at the playground today.  The whole family went, god both the kids really tired, and they took a good nap afterwards.  One Dad was there throwing a ball to two kids, and he made a big deal after each successful throw.  Kinda reminded me of Ian and I.  I think kids love LOUD positive reinforcement.  Whenever Ian and I are playing rowdy and doing something, if I start yelling and hooting, he just giggles and laughs.  The louder the commotion, the bigger the fun.  Shoot, and I love to be loud.  Yahoo.

A sad thing also happend.  I was taking Lexi around, holding her one hand while she learns to walk, and I overheard two little girls talking.  I came into the evesdrop with "Is your Mom here?".

"No, (nanny's name) took us here."

"Yeah, I wish my Mom was here."

"Yeah, me too.  My Dad too."

Wow, quite sobering.  Almost gave the children hugs, and started crying; although probably would have been thrown in jail.  The children then went back into playing, talking about triangles and squares.  Not sure why, but I just think it's great that Ian and Lexi have Jackie at home.  Jackie's wonderful in so many way.

The job here is going ok.  Some folks got a nod to come into the north office for a meeting.  They got pretty nervous when it was known that the meeting was only for 3 people, 3 people that are at a particular risk for a layoff.  I'm wishing them the best, but not sure why a manager would call a meeting to lay them off, just do it.  Not sure what's going to happen to us, but there seems to be plenty of jobs out here, so not too worried.

Starting playing racquetball indoors again.  Having a great time.  I'm starting to get back into good enough shape to run around a bit and wack the crap out of the ball.  I do worry about the back, but might go see a chiropracter to see if they can do something to help.  I feel like such a pussy when I bring up my back as a reason for not playing.  I finally wanna go full steam and am afraid to.  Don't want to be hobbling when I'm 50.

ASP.NET 2.0 came out along with VS 2k5.  Have it, haven't really tried anything with it.  Really want to simply modify the screensaver RSS starter kit thingy, and will, just doing the US Open stuff now.  Might do something along those lines and sell it for 5 bucks after the open to raise some moola.  Really want to get into smart apps and HR type of apps.  We'll see how that goes.  Have to create a ranking system for MNP and then I'll move on.  MNP is sorta better, but I always learn more and it could always be better, so  I gotta stop working on it sometime.

Ok, enough rambling.  Later Bitch!
