get on up.

Here comes part deux of my winter vacation, and it only now feels like vacation. I have been running around doing the Christmas thing for days now. Today I had to work, but really there is not much to do in these final days of Q4 2007. So, Tomorrow I am planning to do some snowshoeing, really my first real snowshoeing trip in about 10 years. Woot. we have had just a ton of snow recently, so I am hoping to find some nice powder higher up. I will take pictures and post them tomorrow.

well that is about all for tonight.

Explore the abyss

I found a really cool website today called "Explore the abyss" (URL: http://www.exploretheabyss.com/). My whole life I have been fascinated by the creatures of the deep, so I have been spending a lot of time looking at the photos. It's pretty interesting that we have only really explored a mere fraction of the ocean, makes me wonder what cool creature we will find next.

keep it real Argyropelecus

been a while

Wow, I haven't update this is quite some time. Here is a quick refresh of the last 6 months.

New Job. Left iBahn, went to Mediconnect (Same area, different building)

New desire to shed the beer belly and get back outdoors. went on less hikes than I thought I would, but still did more outdoors in the last 6 months than I did all of last year. Also, I have a good exercise routine down, which is really going to help during the dark months of winter.

Sister moved to Seattle, which sucks, but I am happy she is in a bigger better city w/ BF and new jorb.

I have been actively learning new Database stuff lately, esp. w/ the new job I have had to come up to speed on Oracle, Analysis Services, and SSIS. I have really come to dislike SSIS, it just seems to be as kludgey and crappy as DTS. but that's a whole separate blog.

Other than that, Felecia and I have been staying busy with work, hiking, and general fun.
