  • 2017-07-12 PNW Day 2 (Part 2): Less is More

    Today seems like it was a very full day, but we did not really do much. We woke up, had breakfast, packed up and drove west to the coast. Once we hit the 101 it was time to do a little bit of sightseeing. We drove north on the highway to Oswald State Park. We…

  • 2017-07-12 PNW Day 2: Headed for the West Coast

    Today we will not miss the free breakfast at our hotel, the lovely Holiday Inn Express in Troutdale Oregon. After that, I am not sure if we will linger at all around this area or just head for the coast. I’d like to hang out at least long enough to miss morning traffic as we…

  • 2017-07-11 PNW Day 1: Waking Up in Portland

    I lost another day of my life yesterday to travel, but it will all be worth it now that I am in Portland… now that WE are in Portland. The kids and I made the trek yesterday which included three airports, two plane rides, one late night visit to a rental car facility, and lots…

    This has been a pretty quick trip and today is my last day so I need to make it count. I’ve already been rocking and rolling on work issues this morning and I should be able to get a ton of stuff done. It’s amazing what an entire day free from interruptions and the burden…

  • 2017-05-14 Austin – It Just Keeps Getting Better

    I woke up on Saturday after a glorious 9 hours of sleep. I can’t tell you when the last time it was I had 9 hours. Friday after work we went to a place called Stubbs which is an outside BBQ place where they not only serve drinks but also have a play are and…

  • 2017-05-13 Austin – Working and Catching Up

    Sadly the first order of business when I arrived on Thursday (after lunch of course) was to dig right into some work stuff that was of the utmost importance, according to my former boss who is now the Chief Operations Officer. Behind that I have feature “X” that is broken and is of utmost importance…

  • 2017-05-12 Austin – The District Kitchen.. 3.5

    On my first night in town Rebecca and I flew solo for a girls dinner out at a place called the District Kitchen, and I had (you can guess), a cheeseburger. It was a bison burger, seasoned and cooked really well with just a touch not enough white cheddar cheese. The fries were good and…
