Snow, Snow, Snow

It's been a while coming this year, but the first big snowfall happened overnight last night. They have been tracking a big storm all week and were pretty accurate with their predictions. We woke up to about 8 inches this morning and it continued to fall most of the morning. Several people could not get to work and those who did took many hours. I just drove my truck over it all! I cleared the path and deck for Lorraine to walk Reggie this morning, but by the time she woke up there were several more inches; so she had to start again. Reggie loves the snow, and had great fun frolicking around in it this morning.

One of the guys from work managed to drive his car over one of the corner stone rocks in the parking lot and actually stranded it on the subframe. We tried to pull him off with the truck but to no avail. I couldn't get enough traction. The towing companies were predicting 6 hours, and so eventually he rounded up about 10 volunteers to basically lift and push the car from the rock.

I went out and took some pictures around the office. We have a beautiful campus with lots of trees and lakes. Unfortunately my battery decided to die and I wasn't able to take as many I would have liked, but maybe I can get some more tomorrow. The forecast is for below freezing temperatures for the weekend, so it will be around a while, although most of the trees will probably drop their snow before then.

What pictures I did manage to get, you can see here. Click on any picture in the strip to see it full size.

If you think my little girl is just the cutest thing your ever saw, then please vote for her. I recently entered her in a local radio station contest, and we only have about a week to vote to get her through this round, then I would guess some other voting in following rounds. Click here to go to the site and vote , as many times as you can/want, although I think you have to register before you vote, so I understand some people will not want to do that. Vote early, vote often!

Webcast Is Coming

I have been working with a guy in the office, to get this thing going (although really he is the technical whizz on this). The long and short of it, is that it looks fantastic. We tried it last night. The picture quality is a little jerky, but the sound is great, and it's not like we will be running around. We still need to go to the venue and test it there, then set up all the connections and stuff, but barring some major failure..it's on! It will be broadcast here .

News Update

Well it's been a while since I posted any news about what is going on here with us, so I thought I would kinda pull together thoughts from the last few months. The first and most exciting news is our forthcoming new addition. Our first child is due September 25 th , for those of you who haven't read in a little while or seen the posting, click here . All is well, and we are trying to plan our year, including any trips, especially where flying is involved, before it is too late for Lorraine to fly. According to the due date we are at 15 weeks right now, and there is not much else to tell. She is not really showing yet, no kicking, etc. She was as sick as a dog on dodgy dog food for the whole first tri mester , and whilst she is much better now, she still has some issues in the evening. I mention the dodgy dog food intentionally because of an issue which is only getting worse here in the US. For months a major rebranding manufacturer (name withheld to protect from law suits :-) ...
