New Year has begun

my kids and I stay up until about 1 am playing the game of Life - Twists & turns. We set the amount of turns to 50 and started playing about 9 Pm. By the time we had watche the New Year come in on Channel 5, the boys were pretty much ready to wrap it up, by 1 am they were really tired. I think we only got to about a 37 turn/year game... I won with over 500 thousand life points. getting a luxury car and any kind of house as soon as possible in the game really helps I think.

I started a contract job on the 29th of December. I am contracted to a company in Texas called Pinnacle to work for EDS (an HP company) to do local hardware/software Helpdesk support for Symantec in South Lindon. It pays about $4/hour less than what I was getting at TNI, but I guess it is a job and gets me out of the house and earning money and some insurance.

I wish every one a glorious New Year.

I didn't notice this in time, as I closed the door as I notice the shed door was open, and went to close the shed door, and then was locked out of my car with it running. Well, I had the back windows down a bit, but not quite far enough for me to reach in and unlock, but enough for a young child who could, so I thought of my neighbors kids who may not have gone to school yet, so I knocked. Then I remembered, they don't hear me when I knock or ring the door bell. So, I th

Things come and go

There is a lot happening right now, or has been. My wife was pregenant, but no longer, because it turns out the pregancy was ectopic. She had to have surgery and one of her tubes had to be taken out to remove it. She is remaining as positive as she can be. She is in a lot of pain. She is walking more each day and hoping to be able to be able to do enough for me to go back to work on Monday. Tonight is Pack meeting, but I don't think I will be going. I have already let the other Bear leader know that I am needed at home, because of the surgery. We will see what tomorrow brings. The kids have a day off of school, teacher work day, I guess.
