Tara's birthday is coming up and I have no idea what to get her. She is notoriously hard to buy for. I on the other hand am very easy. Most people who know me will get me gift cards to Barnes and Noble (Voracious reader) or pilot supplies (My parents bought me an E6B and Tara bought be a subscription to Plane and Pilot last year). I don't know why it seems women are so hard to figure out. If anyone has any ideas, please email me.
I will be heading to Boston next week. It's been a while since I have had to travel and the break has been nice. The project is going well also. We are at the point where most of the "heavy lifting" is done and now we are in maintenance and operations mode.
Tara is already starting to plan holiday schedules. It looks like she wants to go to Atlanta a week before Thanksgiving to see her Dad, then come home to BTR and spend Thanksgiving Day with her Mom. We are heading to Tampa for Christmas with my parents this year also. Going to be a busy holiday season!
I received new office furniture yesterday also. It isn't very "feng shui" but it works. For some reason this office is VERY cold. My thermostat says it is 73 degree's but I would argue it is in the upper 60's which is pretty cold for me. I probably will need to start bringing a jacket just to sit in my office. I still need to put up the "me wall" with all the certifications, degree, etc. as well.
We have been getting involved with "small groups" at our church. We meet weekly at someone's house (this week it is our house) and since we are all couples, the conversations can get very interesting. So far it's been lots of fun.
I realize this is a pretty boring post, but not much has been going on. The attention on the political campaign (I still don't know who I will vote for), and the financial crisis seems to be taking most of the attention. All I can say is that I am not looking at my 401k/investments, I am continuing to buy investments, and ignoring most of the political speak.
That's all from me.
Michael, out.
