Update & Excuse

I was told by my cousin today that I had not updated my blog in awhile… He was right.
I will re-devote myself to updating this site on at least a weekly basis.

College:

I have finished my core technical classes for my associates degree and have moved into my education core. This term I am trying online classes again. I have to say that they are much harder than in-seat classes. I hope that I will get an A in that class but at this point I am worried. Otherwise I am doing well in school and am actually learning quite a bit about routers and switches as I had never messed with them before.
I will be graduating in June and hope that all the hard work and missed time with my family will pay off soon.

Personal:

Home life is also great, the Wife and I have adjusted well to the little man and he is learning so much. Day after day I come home to “Guess what the baby can do now” The highlights are: He can stand, eat table food, Laugh, cry (loudly ) and say da-da! He is so much more mobile than he used to be and he is getting better at visual and speech recognition.
The wife is baking her head off and has made several great tasting contributions to my belly. Bread, Muffins, Cookies, and Strawberry sherbert for the baby come to mind.

Work:

My work just finished it’s second round of lay-offs in a restructuring plan that will hopefully drive the company to be more productive and profitable RF’s Restructuring Plan. I still have my job (thank god) but several people in the GSO area have lost there jobs. I hope that the restructuring will lead to new job openings.

Site:

I am hopeing to re-design the site with my own design instead of using someone else’s as I am a graphic designer. It is hard to do your own design however as you always try to incorporate to much. If any of you has an idea for a personal logo for the site or myself please let me know.

Thanks
