Little stiff from all the driving this weekend. I'll try to do more tomorrow. Got pics up from the trip to St. Louis and Meghan's Birthday party.

I got up at 4:30 and was awake. Or so I thought. The next thing I new it was 5:45.

Another interesting read.

Slept in today so the weigh in is unofficial. finished the rework of the Kids site. Now I need to work on this blog. Still playing around with transcoding videos and trying to make a good looking mpg. The only real issue with video work is the amount of time it takes to process everything. Even with the beefy AMD64. Guess I just need to build a cluster!

Gym was good. Didn't run much but I think I'm just going to keep trying to do a little more each day.

Easter was good. Owen is eating enough to keep a small army running. I expect him to be about 6-2 by the end of summer. Bean had her first ride on an escalator. She help Grandpa Gary's hand on the way up and mine on the way down. As soon as we stepped on to go down she was shaking like a leaf. I don't think completely from terror. She managed to do her fake "I'm Scared" shudder. I think the shaking was at the excitement of such a fantastic new experience. Being there for moments like that, when she or Owen do something for the first time, is indescribable. I think that I could withstand anything if only to be there for another experience like that. Luckily, there are sure to be more of those kind of days.

I am just about done with the re-design of the Kids website. I have given it the same feel as the home page for ariserve. I have a few IE/Mozilla CSS annoyances to track down and then I will move it to production.

I made a short movie of Owen last night you can see the dvix version Here It's 37MB so it will take a while to download. I'm working on getting an mpg version and may update later with that.

UPDATE: There is a smaller(19MB) version Here The mpg will be a bit the current one only plays in windows media player. Quicktime seems to choke on it. If I can fix that tonight I'll post it tonight.

Planned on doing the whole 30 on the eliptical but it beat me today. I really need to knuckle down some more. I think once I start sleeping a little later I'll be ok.

I think the soups for lunch may be an issue. I checked the label on them today and it's 380 calories and 18g of fat I'm taking in. Time to find a new lunch plan.

Interesting read here

Did 30 on the treadmill. Feel pretty good.

Apparently there is some sort of re-org thing approaching quickly. Yay!!! more later as details emerge.

I got almost all the way to the gym this morning and then realized that I left my gym bag at home. So I had to go all the way back and get it. By the time I got to the gym it was getting late to actually get a good workout. I decided to have a nice sauna instead. So that is what I did. I hope that that is not a sign of the type of day I am going to have.

Yow! I am only eating water and tofu for the rest of the month! mmmmmmmm tofu. In other news go and get gas early today. Apparently the price is going through the roof soon. It was 2.47 at the Huck's station when I filled up this morning. Apparently some of the stations on Market street were already up to 2.75. Yikes.

phew! Jen had comps this weekend so I did my best to keep the kids out of her hair so she could concentrate. I think I need a day off. It is nice and quite here at work today though.

We went to the park and the zoo this weekend. There was also a trip to the bookstore followed by a long drive. I think Owen and Cecilia had a pretty good weekend.

Owen had a great time at the zoo. Bean did a super job of showing him all the animals. As soon as we would get up to an exhibit Cecilia would grab Owen's hand and point at the animals and say "Do you see the doggy Owen? Do you see the Otter?" it was really sweet.
