This week, we’re going to have all the family in. My parents are coming on Thursday to bring a couch and Andrea’s folks are going to make it over here for the Fourth of July weekend. It should be a lot of fun. I hope it stops raining for a couple of days. Man it’s been pouring like we live in Seattle! Mmmm… Seattle.

Anyway, lots of family, lots of furniture, and lots of craziness a the new house. Heres to hoping it all goes well.

This is great. A great (well, not-so-great) way to vent about the people you work with.

I’ll be refraining for as long as possible. But mine would definatly go in the Client category. Clients don’t know what they want when you need to know it, and when you give them suggestions they always decide right then that they know exactly how to do it : not your way.

Hehehe.

We wrote a new song this weekend with our new bassist, Lucas. I like it, it’s very — poppy. Very catchy verses, although the Chorus may need to be worked on just a bit. But I’m hearing all sorts of things in my head right now about where it could go. Potentially, it’s for a movie that a friend of Tom’s is doing here in Austin–nothing big, but it’d be pretty fun to record something for a movie

Motive, my former company, went public today at $10.25 a share. That’s pretty cool if you ask me. I’ll make some quick cash — in about 6 months. That’s Christmas DAY that we can sell our stock off… maybe it’ll pay for some nice Christmas presents for the kid this year… or his Education fund.

I don’t have a link because there isn’t one, but let me tell you, Boy Scouts did more for me as a young man than nearly any other single activity. After I moved, I really didn’t like it in Clyde, but hey…

A good troop is all the difference, and a good leader makes for the best troops. I can see that in Mr. V now, and how subsequent leaders didn’t quite have the nack, not that they didn’t contribute, just that they were not great leaders.

Great leaders make great organizations because they get everyone to help out and paddle. The boat moves because the leader is helping along, but still admits that they need help. Humilty in a leader is important.

All of this because I got a Dutch Oven this week… sheesh.

My grandparents-in-law are big puzzle freaks. They love puzzles and love solving them. Well, I found this site on Metafilter that has a bunch of REALLY HARD puzzles. I haven’t been able to solve one of them yet, so there’s my challenge : Solve at least one puzzle without cheating. You have 3 days.

Go!

Well, this weekend was a lot of fun. We had the Dugglebys over on Friday for a lively game of Settlers. On Saturday, we saw a vacuum demonstration and had a birthday party for Ben. On Sunday we worked through some leadership stuff at Pathways and talked to our dads (those who were home). And this morning, I took half a day off and got a lot of stuff done around the house. I’m just hoping that all the bills I’ve missed in the last month haven’t messed up my credit rating
We now have a bookshelf, and one of those cool legless chairs. Lots of seating is a Good Thing in a home with multiple floors and a pregnant woman.
