….. and “Oh crap! Leaves are starting to fall”. Last week, I knew the cold season had kicked in. Our heating system kicked in several times during the night to regulate the heat. It had not done that since last winter. So our energy bill will be higher for the bill next month. With the [...]

Nelly and I had set the goal of completing the baby room (the baby nursery) by August 15th. This was so that we would not leave everything until the last minute. Plus, if the little dude decided to come early, we wanted to make sure that we were covered, and that both mummy&daddy were making [...]

We finally zero’ed in, and decided on a name. Pretty funny that both of us had the name high on the list when we had narrowed the names we were considering. We will only announce the name on the day the baby is born.

We are really-really close to zero’ing in on a baby name. We are down to 8 names for boys. For the record, my attempt to use Casper, Caspar, or even Caspa failed, and was quickly vetoed by Nelly . But, we have had a pretty fun process on name choosing. - Nelly created her own list [...]

Aloha! Just came back from the Big Island in Hawaii. We were in Kona on the Kohala Coast. It was a pretty cool relaxing holiday, and we planned to take it now as we anticipated that it might be a really-really-really-really long time before Nelly and I have another ‘just the two of us’ [...]

What has happened since? Finished the 1st session of ProSports bootcamp. It was a good session, and it got me back to running weekly. No records were broken this time as I am still in the 8+ minutes a mile speed range. Fun stuff none-the-less. It’s wedding season – Attended Andy and Maggie’s wedding earlier [...]

Last week, I was happy that I did not have to attend a Saturday class. It was one of those fronted loaded classes which would meet the whole day Saturday, and had a 3 day (away from home) retreat built in. It was amazing how having this one class would pretty much take my weekend [...]

Nelly and I just came back from our vacation trip to Zambia. Compared to last time, our all our bags made it. For the first time in any customs control, Nelly and I were asked to open all our suit cases. They went ahead and searched; and found nothing. Oh well – how about [...]

I am looking forward to 2010. It should be an exciting year, and hoping that it is way better than 2010. Some of my new years resolutions that I am willing to share with the rest of the world. They are not in any particular order - Kick Butt at Work! (Work hard; Produce more; [...]

This should really have been titled ‘Norwegian Cruise Line’ (NCL) vs ‘Carnival Cruise Line’ (CCL). The Alaska trip was fun – when we were not dealing with NCL. Nelly and I had our first cruise experience last December, when we took the Carnival Pride to Mexico. It was such a fun, and relaxing cruise, that [...]

My Twitter account was sending out spam last week. Mikey was one of the people who called me to alert me of spam-links which were being sent. I immediately changed my password, but it seemed to have continue. So I then immediately post a comment (a tweet) alerting people that my account was sending [...]

This year, I tweaked the code a little bit. if(day==18 && month==7) { // Nelson Mandela and I are celebrating some magic today bigGuy.age++; Mandela.age++; if (Mandela.age == 91) { // Nelson Mandela just turned 91! // I seem to be moving closer to his age } [...]
