the end of another work week draws nigh. it couldn't have come at a better time...it's a busy weekend at the price's. owen's baptism is sunday, maybe i'll have some new pics next week? sounds like one more big cold snap this weekend and maybe then some more seasonal temperatures. off to get a much needed haircut. still working on some ideas for a new look to the website. trying to see if i can go the "frontpage" way, (again). a "wysiwyg" tool is the way to go if i can pull it off.
happy weekend!

google has purchased blogger, my current weblog publisher. what does this mean you ask? supposedly nothing but we'll see. i think initially it means a lot more exposure and more blogger users but nothing more.
it's monday, the start of a new week. a fairly uneventful weekend at the price's. my sister from montana will soon be moving to rochester and taking a new job. hopefully that means we will be able to see them more. 2 hours away instead of 14. my other sister from boston has HUGE news that i'm not sure i'm at liberty to reveal worldwide (potentially).
rented appollo 13 last night. saw it years ago when it first came out but enjoyed it almost as much this time.
my birthday is coming up march 9th. i will be 35 years old...tough to accept. i will be playing softball once a week this year, tuesday doubleheaders in burnsville, USSA, class "C". i saw a saying that sums up my belief the other day. "you don't stop playing because you get old, you get old because you stop playing". sounds good to me. more later...

well, it's tuesday. i have a couple of more owen pics to post as soon as i get a chance. his first sink bath, always a classic. not much in the way of big news. i am in the early stages of begining to think about re-doing this site. it's been nearly a year with the same look. gotta keep things fresh. however, time is a major factor here. don't expect any big changes soon. in a bit of a work-rut, perhaps i need a vacation day? all is well for the time being. more later...

a certain sister of mine, who shall remain nameless, but will soon live in winchester mass, can breath a sigh of relief now that i have posted some fresh pics of owen. click here, dork, or on the images link above. enjoy in moderation. it's valentines day night, the kids are in bed, and here i sit at my computer...can you say, "looozeeer". listening to miles davis, "kind of blue" which rocks. plan to head to the x-box shortly and complete some missions on tom clancy's "ghost recon". ok, serious loser. more later...

i hate it when i post a message here and i assume that it's viewable, then i go to look for the post and it never appears, it's just gone...vanished into cyberspace. anyway, what i was saying was....i don't really have any interesting or fascinating stories to report. we have pretty much settled into a regular routine at home, which isn't all bad. my main goal is to have some new owen pics posted by this weekend. he can spmetimes be coerced into a grin and i'm hoping to capture one on the digital camera.
the outside temp seems more reasonable..supposed to hit 25 degrees today. valentines day is tomorrow of course. we have no real plans. it would be nice to have a night out with the wife, but it's just not gonna happen. maybe next year? i'll write more when i have more nothing to say...

had a good weekend. nothing unusual to report. owen is still doing well and getting bigger! i know i need new pictures.
it's still cold! noticed it was -11 on the drive in to work. the parental units are leaving for arizona on wednesday (or thursday?) not a bad time to do that!
been keeping busy with work, and the new chamber music website project. they keep finding changes they want done, which is fine. i do enjoy it.
if you don't want to hear my opinion on possible war with iraq, stop reading here....
can i just say one thing? why do people think that entertainers know better about what's best for our country? should it really matter what madonna, dave matthews, ted turner, and dustin hoffman think? any more than it matters what other people think?? they are just entertainers! that's it!! and not very good ones at that! (ok, dustin hoffman's pretty good). of course no one wants to go to war! some things are necessary to keep the peace and protect freedom. i think it's best to back your country's leaders and be supportive whatever happens. that's my two cents. ok, that's all you'll get from me on the topic...

noticed that my december and janauary weblog archive wasn't on the archive page. so... now they are if you wanted to catch up with what was going on with me then. or, if you'd rather just proceed onward with new things and forget about the past, that's o.k. too.
not a lot of new information. seems like i'm always saying that! it's finally winter with both cold AND snow.
have made some actual updates to the chamber minnesota music site i am now responsible for. a few more edits to make but it's getting better.
went to a corporate i.t. all-hands meeting today. the new corporate buzzwords seem to be "sunset" as a verb. i.e., "we will be sunsetting that legacy technology". Or"sandbox" which i assumes means a "testing environment".
you can't make those things up...or can you?
more later.
