Holidays roll on
We spent the past week in Ohio, visiting family, celebrating Christmas. We spent a few days in Hartville and a few days in Millersburg. I also spent one day on the road. Kim flew into Atlanta and Bruce was going down to pick her up since tickets were expensive. I went along with him to help out driving. We left at 4:45 AM on Friday and arrived home with the peripatetic (they walked everywhere, up to 10 hours a day) at 6 AM Saturday morning. It was a long trip with poor weather.
Kathy and I are both working partial days tomorrow. I was going to have the day off, but a client needs some work done before the beginning of the year. So I'll do that project and then call it a day. Kathy wants to get an early jump on the work for the year so she will spend at least half the day working.
It's time for a snack and some serious rooting. The Titans just kicked a field goal to tie it...

Friday Night Lights
We're headed to South Bend to finish our Christmas shopping once we're done here. Probably Best Buy and Barnes & Noble.
Did I mention the other team only has four players, and their one fan is complaining because Kathy's team is talking strategy?
Only five more days of work until Christmas vacation! And it is looking to be a busy week. Hopefully the busy-ness won't be as obnoxious as today's. I went to a client's at 1:30, expecting to be done in a couple hours. Instead, I spent 3.5 hours installing a Quickbooks update. And I only finished four of the six computers. The install isn't particularly difficult--it just takes forever. Fun, fun.
Ooh, their fifth player just showed up. Right after one of the others twisted her ankle.
So this is one of those teams that yells "free free free" when there's no point. It's just short of a pet peeve of mine... Their offense is a get-it-over -the-net offense with no transition between offense and defense. Ergo, no real reason to yell free. Ah, well.
Kathy just called a lift on herself...
Well, the battery on my phone is getting low. I'll sign off for now. Have a great weekend!

November's Over

In case you missed it, November is over. Which means that NaNoWriMo is over. Which means that I don't feel guilty for not working on my novel. Kathy and I actually didn't get very far into our novels--we decided to have a life instead. However, we both did get good starts and somewhat got into the habit of writing. We are going to try to keep it up and finish the things. Keep asking us about them!
We are now well into December, and I am just now getting to my first blog entry. That's the way it goes sometimes. Right now, Kathy is playing Ratchett and Clank on the PS3 and I am sitting by the fire with my laptop. It's nice and cozy with the sound of smashing boxes in the background...
The past week we had the Aptica Christmas. My boss Jason bought a pedicure and a massage for us. It was very relaxing and soothing. As you can sort of see from the not-so-great picture, I got my toes painted. My pedicurist--as well as everyone else, except maybe Kathy--were very surprised. She told me that she has never painted a guys toe nails before, except her dad's and he was asleep at the time.
Have a happy holidays!

Snow already?
Well, it's hardly December and it's already snowed multiple times. There's snow on the ground now, though it might be gone later in the day if the weather does what they say it's going to. Yesterday I walked to my bank and discovered that the city doesn't seem to plow all of the sidewalks, even in the downtown area.
Our fall/winter schedule has filled up again this year. We eat supper with my sister on Mondays, with Kevin & Katrina Graber on Tuesdays, small group on Wednesdays, and then I play in a co-ed volleyball league on Thursdays and in a women's volleyball league on Fridays. Technically I'm just a sub for the women's league, since it's in Mishawaka and I said I didn't really want to be on the team & commit to playing every week since it's a longish drive, but they asked if I'd be the regular sub and cover when the regular players were out and I agreed. Turns out someone's gone almost every week.
I do enjoy volleyball, but the knee I injured last summer and then re-injured a couple of months ago doesn't. The co-ed league with the higher net is especially vexing since I have to jump my highest to get a decent hit or a chance at a block. It does better if I warm up first, so I have to remember to leave myself plenty of time to stretch and jog and so on.
We had our Christmas party for Craig's work last night. Craig's boss dropped us off at a day spa and we got pedicures and massages, both of which were a first for me. It was fun and quite relaxing. I had indicated on the sheet they had us fill out that my knee had been injured, and the woman who did my massage talked a little with me when we were finished. She could obviously tell something was wrong - she asked how long ago I'd hurt it, and asked if the cartilage had been separated, and wasn't surprised to find out about the bone bruises. She also asked if I'd injured my ankle at the same time, mentioned that it was quite weak, and recommended that I wear shoes with good support, thus vindicating my decision to basically only wear Danskos (or tennis shoes) except for rare occasions when I really dress up. She also asked if I'd seen a physical therapist about my knee, which I have not. I might start thinking about it if it doesn't improve materially in the next year or so. So, to sum up, I have sparkly toenails. =)
Craig and I have both started writing a novel. Neither of has gotten very far, but we have started and are planning on sticking with it. We're trying to have regular writing nights when we go to a coffee shop and write without the distractions that abound at home.
Since the business that I work at moved earlier this year to the building that my boss and his business partner purchased and renovated, we realized that we didn't have any holiday decorations since we'd never needed them before. My boss let me buy decorations and put them up, which was a lot of fun. Last weekend was apparently the right time to buy them, since the only thing I bought that wasn't 25% - 40% off was the wreath hook for the door. I'm enjoying the festive atmosphere.
I've also been hit with the urge to bake cookies in the last couple of weeks. I've made two batches of sugar cookies and one of chocolate chip, which actually turned into chocolate-butterscotch chip since I didn't have enough chocolate chips and had to supplement them with the butterscotch. I finally have found a sugar cookie recipe that I really like. It's a mix of the one on a bag of flour and the chocolate chip recipe that usually use. They end up nice and chewy. I don't like dry cookies.

Visiting Ohio

I went back to Ohio this past weekend. It was a nice trip, even though Kathy wasn't with me. She stayed in Goshen because her parents were coming out for her sister's concert, which meant that I only had to visit my family instead of both families. On the way home my odometer reached a big round number like you can see in the photo. I knew it was going to happen during the drive home and didn't want to miss it so I kept checking the mileage. Turns out it rolled over only 10 miles from home.
I stayed at my brother's house and we stayed up late both nights... I think it was 2:30 on Friday night and 12:30 or so on Saturday night. Doesn't matter how tired I am we tend to stay up talking.
November is almost here, which of course means it is time to write a novel. We're looking forward to giving it a go and see what turns up. The idea is to write 50,000 words (about 175 pages) during the month of November. The goal isn't to come up with a polished, publishable novel, but to write--to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard). Should be interesting. We'll keep you posted on how it is going.
I'm headed to Mishawaka today and need to meet my boss soon to pick up a computer. I need to take off now. Ciao-sy.

Kristi's Graduation
I know, I know--that was a long time ago. Well, I finally got around to uploading the pictures from that weekend up to the web. Feel free to check them out! We found an interesting sculpture with a convenient wall right behind that we could set the camera on.
Congratulations to Kristi for such beautiful work. Oh, if you look at the pictures not all of the pieces are Kristi's--just the awesome enamel ones.

Another weekend

For now we have Kathy's mom, Helen, out for the weekend. She has tickets to the Performing Arts Series, and there was another concert last night. While we were watching the Indians lose in the ALCS, she was listening to some sweet jazz.
I should have time to watch the Indians again tonight. I sure hope they play better than they did last night. They look very flat, although they were facing a good pitcher... We'll see what happens!

Weekend is here...
Tonight we are heading over to Kevin's house to eat supper with his parents. Should be a nice evening, and we'll get to hear where all they have traveled since we saw them last.
The rest of the weekend is pretty free. We have a few things we want to get done around the house, including fixing a leaky sink. There are a few baseball games that I want to watch since the Indians are in the playoffs again. We have lunch with our small group after church on Sunday.
Other than that, a lot of nothing planned. Enjoy!

Another server installation
Server installations tend to make work a little more busy. We usually schedule a couple of days on-site, plus some remote work before hand. So all of our normal work during the week gets shoved around to make room for the extra hours. So far it hasn't been bad though.
Kathy and I went and watched the GC volleyball team last night. It was fun to go and watch with Kathy. She has a very different perspective than your typical fan since she played for so many years and knows the game well. I found that I definitely watch the game (it's getting to be any sport) with a coaching eye. What are they doing that works? What are they doing poorly? What are their weaknesses? Sometimes I wish I could just watch and cheer, but then I listen to the inane banter of the other fans around us last night and I'm glad that I think like I do.

body art & busy days
My new tattoo! Since it's on my foot, I need to let it heal for a bit before I throw on socks and shoes and start running around. I might go over to my friend Kevin's house and use his exercise bike, though, since I can do that barefoot.
I got it done last night at Marvel Tattoo in South Bend. Kevin also came and got a tattoo; he got a dragon on his back. We both turned 30 in September, and have been planning the tattoos for about half a year. Larry, the tattoo artist who did both our tattoos, is very good. He finished mine in about 20-25 minutes. I drew the picture, which he cleaned up and changed a little so it would work well as a tattoo. I'm very happy with the results.
Today, then, I donated blood. Yes, it's ok for me to donate blood; I checked. I got my tattoo at a licensed tattoo parlor where they don't reuse ink or needles. They are inspected periodically by the state, and the Red Cross doesn't mind if you get a tattoo at such a place. The regulations do vary by state. New Mexico, for instance, doesn't regulate tattoos at all (and thus the Red Cross wouldn't want you to give blood for 1 year after getting a tattoo there).
I didn't have any problems donating blood, which was good. My iron was fine. The technician even said that I have good veins! I did have to wave my feet and open and close my hands to get the blood flowing, though. But the machine didn't beep at me because the flow was too slow, which happened last time I donated. Apparently good veins don't necessarily mean fast veins.
Tonight we have a meal with our small group, and then I'm going to watch the GC volleyball team since they have a home game. I haven't made it to any of their matches yet, and I'm looking forward to watching them play after scrimmaging with them so often.

Selling cars

Kathy's sister Kristi recently moved to Virginia where they require inspections before they will title your car. Her car (Escort Wagon, go figure...) did not pass. We were both back in Ohio last weekend and after some discussion about what to do we decided to offer her our Escort Wagon to replace hers. The sale isn't final yet since we told her she could wait until it passes inspection to make it official.
So for now Kathy and I are down to one car. I think we'll be able to make it work without too much trouble, and then we will look at replacing it sometime next year.
Speaking of only having one car, I need to go pick up Kathy from work so she can go play volleyball with the GC team.

Waiting at the doctor's office
I haven't had my cholesterol tested in a couple years, but since the last time I did (I briefly passed out again) they have a new test that only requires a prick. Makes my morning easier. =)
This weekend is the last tournament of the year for Robot House, my Ultimate team. We finally got our jerseys a couple weeks ago. I'll attach a picture to this email post and see what happens to it...
Today is going to be a busy day, but at least it is Friday!

Happy memories
Chicago Heavyweights

I went to Chicago for an Ultimate tournament this weekend. We finally got our jerseys for this fall, even though we only have one more tournament left. They are pretty sweet jerseys--hopefully you can see the photo well enough and ignore the button. I took the picture with my phone.
We played pretty well, although we got pretty tired by the end of the day on Sunday. We finished 4-3, even after losing our first two games. Not too bad considering we haven't practiced together. That's also part of the reason we were tired since we aren't in the best of shape.
Next weekend is our last tournament. Then we should have some free weekends again. We are already looking at going back to Ohio to visit family the following weekend (Sept 21,22,23). Bruce will be getting back from his trip to India, Myanmar, and Indonesia so we are heading back to welcome him home.

Football and long weekends
We're having a final supper for Lindsy. Tomorrow, she leaves for a semester in Spain. (You can check out her musings at lindsyrg.blogspot.com.) I already lit the grill and Kathy is getting the veggies ready. We might go watch a GC soccer game after supper. We'll see.
I spent about an hour yesterday practicing turning on my rollerblades. I found out that the outdoor basketall court is a great place to practice. It's a big enough space and the concrete is smooth. When I fell--and trust me, I did--it didn't rip any skin off.
Well, it's time to start working on the shishkebobs!

New skates

Well, I just got new skates. The skates that I bought in early August already broke. At least, one of the rivets that holds the shoelaces popped loose. They didn't have my size so I ended up getting a different pair. They are K2 skates that are much more comfortable.
Today is Friday. I'm heading up to LaGrange for a call this morning and then back home to wrap up paperwork for the week (and clean up last week's while I'm at it). Then it's a nice long weekend to get some things done around the house!

Monthly Post
We are getting towards the end of our Ultimate season. We have an off weekend and then tournaments the next two. That should be it then. It's been fun, but i'm looking forward to some extra free time.
I'll have more time for skating. I borrowed my cousin's roller blades which she left at our house while she was out of the country. I enjoyed it quite a lot so I decided to buy my own, especially since hers were old and not very comfortable. Since the are low impact (read knee friendly) I try to get out most days. So far I just being going forward and learning how to stop. I don't have pads yet and don't feel like injuring myself at this time
Well, I think it's about time for bed. Plus it's not the easiest thing to type on this phone, even with a qwerty keyboard.

August already

This summer seems to be evaporating. Every time I turn around more of it is gone...
Craig and I are keeping very busy. We rarely have more than a day or two a week when we don't have something scheduled. For some people that may be more than enough down time, but the two of us like our leisure time.
The first couple of pictures here are from our week in Florida, where we did alm

We've been back for a month, now, though it doesn't really seem that long. We play in two ultimate frisbee leagues, one in South Bend about 50 minutes away, and one in K

Craig and I went as superheroes. We don't currently have very good pictures, but some should hopefully be coming before too long. Craig is the guy in the red cape in the picture to the right, and I'm in the blue cape in the picture below. Playing in a cape wasn't as distracting as I though it would be, although Craig did have some problems with his arm getting caught in the cape on some of his longer throws.
We also have either one or two day tournaments scheduled for 5 out of the next 7 weekends, which will continue to keep us very busy. But we both enjoy playing, it's great exercise, we meet new peo

My sister Kristi is staying with us for the next few days, which we're really happy about. We haven't seen nearly enough of her the last three years, since she was living in North Carolina. She graduated this spring with a Master of Fine Arts. She is an incredible artist, with amazing craftsmanship to go with her beautiful aesthetic sense. She specializes in metalworking which incorporates objects from nature.
On a different note, we went to see the Simpsons movie last weekend, are going to see the third Bourne movie tomorrow, and I'm planning on watching Stardust next weekend (providing our local theater is showing it. I might have to go to South Bend where there are larger cinemas). I just finished reading the last 4 Series of Unfortunate Events books, the newest Jasper Fforde book, First Among Sequels (featuring Thursday Next), and am starting to read the 7 Harry Potter books straight through. And on another media front, Craig and I have been watching Scrubs and The Office, both of which we really enjoy.
We've had really big wasps flying around our house the last month or so - and by really big I mean 2, 2.5 inches long (which might not seem that bad until you look at a ruler and then picture a what looks like a hornet that size flying right at you). Craig did a little research and found out that they are Cicada Killer Wasps. The males don't actually have stingers but like to check out anything that moves, which seems a lot like attacking. The females do have stingers but aren't at all aggressive towards humans (unless they get stepped on or so on). So, while it is good to know that it's highly unlikely we'll get stung, it's still freaky to have monster-sized wasps hanging out by our flowers and in our yard.
We're looking forward to a mini Glick reunion next week. It's nice to see family, and very nice to have it just a few blocks away from us instead of in Ohio or other more distant locations.
While this doesn't cover a month's worth of missed blog entries, at least it's something. =)

New mail setup
Still wasn't working. A test message just disappeared into never, never land. I tried to connect to the server from an outside computer that I have access to--no luck. I finally decided I was just going to go to bed and find out if Comcast started blocking port 25, which is necessary for email to happen.
Sure enough. My first search this morning turned up an article from ZDNet, hot off the press. If I was a corporate customer I definitely would have called and complained, but since I'm just a techy home user, hosting his personal mail, I decided to change options and move on.
So Kathy and I are now using Google Apps. I'm excited about giving it a try. I'll have to find a way to synchronize calendar, contacts, and email for Kathy's Axim. I'm not too worried about that, though. I already found a free app to synchronize calendar. I'm going to email my friend that uses Google Apps at work and see what they use.
However, I just finished making the changes, and sometimes internet changes can take a little time to move across the globe. We should be up and running soon!

Back from vacation

Now we are back in Ohio and getting back to work. I have today off due to the July 4th holiday, but Kathy decided to trade Monday for today. She is in at work and no one will be bugging her so she can get caught up from a week off.
After work we are headed to watch the new Transformers (trailer | IMDb | review) movie with some friends. Jason (who turns 30 today!) is super-excited about the movie. Should be entertaining. I think we are headed back to his house for some grilling after the movie. Hopefully the weather cooperates.
I'm not too worried about finding any fireworks tonight. We went over to Jason's last night for a surprise birthday party and his neighbors had one of the most amazing home firework display I've ever seen. They were only a couple of houses down so it was quite loud, and it kept going! They had at least two hours of fireworks, if not a little more than that. And not just roman candles and the like, but actually ones that shot up into the air and exploded. I have no idea how much they spent, but it must have been a considerable amount.
Well, I should get back to work. I have a laundry list of things to do today, which does include laundry. I haven't gotten very far on the list yet...

Yesterday we went up to Siesta Beach to join some of my relatives. The whole reason for the timing of the vacation is my step-sister's wedding this coming weekend so there are quite a few other relatives around. Fortunately we are in Venice, which is about half an hour south of Sarasota so it is easy to avoid them. We are celebrating out 10th anniversary and wanting to spend the time alone.
It's a little after noon, and we haven't been to the beach yet. Yesterday at Siesta Beach, I was out a little long and got slightly burnt. I'm taking it easy today, avoiding the mid-day sun. We'll probably go out later in the day, at least to our pool.
I'm also going to try to make a panorama of our condo. If it works out I will send a copy to my aunt. We'll see how it goes. I'll at least have a bunch of pictures of the condo, even if they don't stitch together well.
We dyed my hair today. It's about time for me to go and rinse. Hope you all are still having a wonderful week!

Vacation underway
My boss was gracious enough to get a smart phone which I am currently using to post this from the aforementioned beach. I'm down here posting because Kathy wanted to come down to look for sharks teeth and shells.
She had better luck this morning at Capperson Beach which is known for sharks' teeth. We spent a couple hours over there this morning sifting thru the sand and shells for anything interesting, especially sharks' teeth. She found about 20 teeth before we got too hot and headed home for showers and lunch.
Speaking of food, we are going to head back in to get ready for supper. Hope you all have a wonderfull week. I know I will!

No Surf
Work has been ridiculously busy the last few weeks. I thought it was busy before that... It seems like I have been working later and longer. I can't complain too much since it means I get paid more, but I haven't had time to keep up on my paperwork so there are some evenings where I spend a little time working on that. I am definitely looking forward to our vacation in Florida next week.
On Friday Kathy and I are flying down to Florida to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We'll cap off the vacation with my step-sister's wedding on June 30th.
Right now, I'm working on updating a laptop which I will shortly be taking back to a client. They were having some issues with this laptop and so we decided to rebuild it. I wasn't quite able to finish before the end of the day yesterday so I will head out this morning to finish it up.
Hope you have a happy Friday!

Childhood snack

sad orchid stem
I was foolish this weekend and ended up with a little poison ivy. I thought that I could stop weeding after I finished our small flower bed, and so I didn't change into long sleeved posion-ivy pulling clothes. I did take a shower and washed thoroughly with soap, but still ended up with a few spots on forearms and ankles. Such is life.
I also played Ultimate (frisbee football) on Thursday, Sunday, and Monday and ended up with big blisters on the bottom of each big toe, a scraped right heel, and a long sratch/scrape/bruise on my left arm (and I didn't even catch the disc on that dive!). Luckily I have until Thursday to heal up a bit.
I also discovered last night that I like Wendy's Frosty Floats when made with root beer and a chocolate frosty (I wasn't too impressed with the vanilla). When I was a kid and we'd go to an ice cream place I would normally get a float made with 7Up and chocolate ice cream. This takes me back to those day, though I think the root beer is a better choice.
I think this weekend I might can/pickle some vegetables. Craig will be out of town at an Ultimate tournament. I could have gone, but since it's an open tournament (meaning men's) and not a coed one, I decided to stay home and be "productive" instead. We'll see how that goes.

Tuesday Tuedsay

Well, we go up to South Bend to pick up my cousin Kelcie who will be in town for a few days (she's in a friend's wedding this weekend). Her sister Lindsy, who just moved out of our house, is now in Costa Rica (and then will be going to Nicaragua for the remainder of the summer). So at least Kelcie got to leave Kansas, where she now lives, for the excitment of Indiana!
Well, I just made an appointment to donate blood tomorrow. We'll see how it goes -- the last 2 or 3 times I tried to donate I was rejected because of low iron. I've been eating more fish lately, and taking multi-vitamen supplements when I remember, so hopefully I'll qualify this time.
My lovely orchid I've had on my desk at work for the last couple of months is finally losing its flowers. Only one lonely bloom is left. Ah, well. Hopefully it will bloom again in a year or two if I keep watering it, like others of our orchids have done.

Rainy Monday

This past Memorial Day weekend I discovered that it was easier to climb trees when I was ten than now, when I'm almost 30. I now have bit more mass, and my joints aren't as forgiving when I land! On the plus side, I can now reach branches I wouldn't have been able to as a half-pint.
I had a nice relaxing Sunday yesterday after being productive and canning 25 pints of salsa on Saturday with my friend Kevin. I finished reading Dorothy Sayer's Gaudy Night and even watched some tv.

Saturday morning
I'll probably start with a jog this morning. Well, it's getting pretty late in the morning, but running sounds like fun, especially since there is rain coming later today. Running has been more fun since I got my Nike+iPod. Now I can keep track of how far I run, my average pace, my best times, etc.
A friend of mine asked me to run in the Dances with Dirt race later this fall in Hell, MI. It is a 100km (about 60 miles) race. Five of us will be doing it relay style so we each will run about 20km (just short of a half marathon). The best part is that it is not a road race. They take you anywhere they feel like taking you. Here is a photo gallery of last years event. Like I said not a road race... Exciting!
So I am off to run. Then I have to go do a little shopping since we are almost completely out of toilet paper. Should be a busy day!

Nephews and family visit

Kathy and I went back to visit family this Memorial Day weekend. We got to spend a little time with the nephews and played disc golf around their yard. Spent some time up in Hartville and then went down to the Woods, finishing the weekend with a picnic in the Woods.
Well, I don't have a lot of time right now. I need to finish up my paperwork and then we are heading up to South Bend for Ultimate Summer League. We play our good friend Little's team tonight. Should be fun.
Hasta luego!

Phone and blog

Hey there, everybody! Check out my new phone! Well, I don't actually have it yet, but it is probably in the mail. It's a Verizon Wireless XV6700 (review). I'm pretty excited about getting a smartphone. I've been thinking/dreaming about one for awhile. I think it will help my work organization, and it'll be fun!
I'm also excited about having a blog back. Quite a few people asked about it while it was gone. I was pleasantly surprised...
Now, it's back to work. I'll see about adding the old content in the next couple of days.
