My my may, how does time fly by. I have been busy building applications at work and trying to finish languishing web projects for clients. Joy and I have managed to get our backyard in decent shape. Half of the deck is built and the garden is thriving. August has been reasonably hot and I'm looking forward to school starting in a few weeks.

I spent the first part of May studying for Finals and working on new business stuff and http://dogdiscarded.com. We then left for Chicago where Joy's brother Nate, graduated from University of Illinois at Chicago as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. I now am allowed to say "What's up Doc?" when he calls, as per our agreement.

Joy and I left Friday (2/13/09) for a romantic getaway and to spend time with her friends from college. We got a great hotel and went out to eat at a great restaurant, and then I came back and started working on a work website. I basically spent all of Valentine's Day weekend working at the hotel in Dallas, although I did get to go out to eat on Valentines Day with Joy. I got back to town on Sunday and immediately began working on the same work project, late into the night.

We are all on some form of journey. Some of us are on a journey of fulfillment, self discovery, theological dissemenation, or others. I have discovered through my journey a few things about what I am good at and what I'm not. Some things just may never get better and I think I am learning to accept it.

When I was in high school in Washington state, I joined a group called Cascade Search and Rescue. I was highly involved in the group for a long time and held the position of Treasurer the first year and Vice-President my last year, before I left for college. Just before I left in the summer of 1997, we were called out to a search for a missing woman.
