Changes….and a bit of a weekly recap.
Getting restless with the website. Its been online in this format since at least December 2005. Those that know me well, know that I get restless after 2 or 3 years of the same old same old 🙂 Maybe that explains my car “habit” (time for a change about now isn’t it?). I guess it goes back to my military childhood of moving every two to three years.
Anyway, I’m thinking its about time for a theme change on the old blog. Of course I haven’t mentioned it to Emily yet 🙂 This all came about after doing some work on Heather and Ashley‘s blogs. I think I am still using an older version of the blog software, so it would have to be upgraded to the 2.x version to work with many new formats and layouts. So keep your eyes peeled, there may be some new changes afoot.
On an unrelated note, my Dad is doing really well. His recent trip to the oncologist brought back some very positive feedback on his treatment. At 42% reduction in the tumor size and a significant reduction in the [stuff] they measure for cancer in the blood. As Mom says, he is a poster boy for his current treatment plan 🙂 Their website is listed on the links to the right of the website.
Emily and I will be going to New York for the first weekend in August. We’ll be visiting her dad and stepmom and spending some time at Diana’s cabin. Maybe I can finally watch a movie in the home theater room that I designed and installed? (and never got to have fun with!)
My brother is taking the Motorcycle Safety Course up in Seattle this weekend. I think everyone should take this class. Heck, even if you don’t plan on getting your two wheel note on your ID, I encourage anyone to take it. Could save the lives of many of us on two wheels. Plus you will learn the thrill of riding a motorcycle. Its truly a freeing feeling.
Guess I should go to bed now as work draws near.

Golf
This weekend was Brian’s bachelor party. We started the day off with lunch at Frisch’s and then went to a local golf course. This was my first time golfing, and I really enjoyed it! We got lucky and had a 76 degree day, no humidity, and mostly sunny. My driving was pretty much worthless, but heck, aside from a few practice swings while visiting Jason up in Cleveland, I’d never even touched a golf club (well, except the putt putt courses!).
I played with Brian, Kirk (Brian’s future brother-in-law), Cary (Brian’s best friend and best man), as a foursome, but Adam (Brian’s other brother-in-law to be), Curry (Brian’s future father-in-law), Phil and Phillip (Brian’s brother and step father) followed us in another foursome. It was nice playing with that many people, as I got to try out a number of different clubs and got a lot of good advice from Cary and Kirk.
I may have to start shopping Craigslist, classifieds, and Play it Again Sports for some decent, cheap, used clubs. There is a driving range right down the street from my office…how convenient. 🙂 Emily played a year or two ago with her friend, Mary, and she had a good time, too. May have found a new hobby!

Paw Park
Megabyte and her cousins (Lizzy, Sadie, Savannah and Sydney) all went to the Kenton Paw Park today to play. It was a beautiful day, sunny but cool. The girls had a great time romping around with other dogs and making new friends. See pictures of their fun day below!

Updates and musings
Last week, before I left for the IT 2007 show in Ft. Worth, Texas, I upgraded the headlights on the Durango to a set of projections lamps. If anyone has ever been in a 98-2003 Durango or 97-2001 Dakota, you probably know how poor the headlamps are. Here is a before and after pic:

On another note…Motorcycle helmets. I will never understand why people don’t wear them. 1) it can save your life 2) Bugs. Riding around on the back roads of Kentucky can be a great time, except there are a lot of gnats, mosquitos, etc. Check out this pic from my ride home from work on Wednesday last week – this i just a 15 or so mile ride at 630pm!

Happy Shower Ash!
I hosted a wedding shower for Ashley today. The weather was rainy and dreary, but we had a lot of fun and laughter inside. We played a few really fun games, enjoyed the chocolate fountain (we’re women, did you expect anything different?), and opened a mountain of wonderful gifts. Thanks to all those who came, it was a great time!

Back from Vacation
We got back Saturday from our spring vacation. This year we went on cruise with Diana, Phil and Philip. We were on Royal Caribbean’s Grandeur of the Seas. We left Sat. March 31 from New Orleans, stopped in Georgetown Grand Cayman, Costa Maya, and Cozumel and ended back in New Orleans. The cruise was awesome; we had great weather, the ports were great and it was very relaxing. Check out pictures below:

Come walk with me!
The local Women’s Crisis Center is having their second annual Doggie Derby on April 28. We missed it last year, but are planning on going this year. It’ll be lots of fun; a dog walk, tshirts, pet psychic, pet portrait photographer, demonstrations, and prizes. Megabyte is really excited about meeting new friends. Anyone want to join us?
