a token update is required here, even though it's dangerous for me to enter posts at the end of a long hard day when i'm feeling a little chippy. a lot of things going on at work and home. trying to keep all the plates spinning.
my wife says i think "compartmentally" while she thinks "big picture". at least that's what dr. phil told her...is this bad? not sure.
alaina's big 6 year golden birthday is coming up on, you guessed it, the 6th. looking forward to that.
softball started up last night. looks like we may struggle, as we got housed twice in a row. we'll monitor the progress here in coming weeks.
that's it for now!

the long awaited (for some) easter pictures are here...for those of you who are always asking for new pictures, (more, more, newer, better, faster, now!!) hopefully this will hold you for a short while. as stated in the afore mentioned post, space is becoming an issue again and will need to be dealt with sooner than later. bye for now...(you know where to click, i'm too lazy and it's too late to put a link:-)

hope eveyone had a nice weekend. i will have a couple of pics soon, but nothing special. space is starting to become an issue again. i may have to go back and purge some older ones (again). 20 MB seems like a lot, and i guess it is, but when you're archiving a ton of photos, it goes quickly. i remember the good ol' days when i had 50 mb of space for free! don't see that happening again. trying to squeek by on a free webhost is getting harder and harder these days.
the mn wild have forced game 7 tonight. what a game last night! yeah for the underdogs!
weather is taking a turn for the better...finally some sun and 60's. we'll take it! more later...

another hectic work week draws to a close. i'm almost getting tired of saying it! i'm getting used to having very little time to cultivate any new content on this site, let alone change the format. but...i still plan to do so somewhere down the road. as you know, this is easter weekend. perhaps i'll be able to post a few new easter pics? a very wierd week weather-wise. went from 90 and sunny to cold and rainy in less than 48 hrs. lot of sports news in this town. the yanks role into the dome for a big weekend series against the twins, the hockey wild try to thwart elimination from the playoffs, and the t-wolves open at home against the lakers on sunday, in the first round. if i only had cable tv....anyway, hope you enjoy the weekend. i'll check in early next week.

it was a great spring-like weekend finally....got a chance to get outside a little bit, it was wonderful.
the hockey gophers won their second national title this weekend. i'm not much of a fan, but we're happy for'em. the biggest disapointment was the idiot fans who decided to burn dinkeytown on the u of m campus for the second year in a row. i don't get it. you win, so set your town on fire? where's the logic?? i think it would make more sense if the fans from the other team (who lost) came and set your town on fire. of course that would be idiotic too, but at least you can follow the reasoning....but torch yourselves? what a bunch of morons!!
another busy work week shaping up..time to sign off. we'll check back later, go wild!

i know i'm lame...seems like there's no time to post anything here anymore. maybe things will settle down a bit in the near future. right now, i'm swamped with so many other things my website is definitely taking a back seat. that said, it is friday and it is the end of a hectic work week. no big plans this weekend which is sort of a relief. i do plan on getting together with the softball guys for a little hit-around tomorrow. weather is supposed to be nice. i'm fighting some sort of cold virus...it's irritating but not debilitating. other than that not much to report. have a great weekend...check back next week.

had a great weekend. went to the twins game friday night and had a blast, (even though they lost:-). sat in on post game jam session which was also a lot of fun. 3 guitars, 2 banjos, and a bass. i was the standout novice of the group but i hung in there. played a lot of obscure folksy/blugrass stuff that i'd never heard of, and some more popular tunes. it was a blast and i'd love to do it again sometime. went to rochester for noah's 1st birthday on saturday. i posted 3 pics here, taken from my mom's digital camera. their new place is great! and less than 100 miles away which beats billings, mt. more later...

hello again. it's thursday already, time for a post. it's been an extremely busy week. fortunately, it has gone really fast.
my twins have started the season 2-0. going to the opener tomorrow night. nice way to cap off a friday. then on to rochester for my nephew's birthday on saturday. some gnarly weather is moving in. it's gotten cold and blustery today. what happened to spring? we haven't completely cleared the corner yet.
that's it for now...
