JBB: Brewing

It’s no secret that I love beer. I know there is a god because he gave us all of the things we need to make beer. That said, I’d like to brew my own in the future. I have a working “know-how” but I’ve never done it before. In other words, the first time [...]

Almost through the first third

Jessica went to the doctor after work yesterday for a checkup. She said it was probably the shortest amount of time that she’s ever spent in a doctors office. She heard the heartbeat for all of three seconds, he asked her for a few questions, and they sent her on her way. She needs [...]

The BIG update

Presented in chronological order

January 10 – 2011

Jessica called me this morning. The first words out of her mouth “I’m pregnant.” Woah! That is one hell of a way to start a morning. We talked for a bit and I assured her that I was excited. In fact, I’ve had a hard time not smiling all day long. I am so happy about this. It’s going to be a bumpy nine months but I can’t wait for it. She told her best friend, Cassy, the good news and is holding off on telling more people the news until she gets official word from the doc. Life as we know it is definitely going to be different.

I’m going to be a dad.

Wow…
definitely pregnant

OKC with the wife

Jessica flew in last Friday so that we could spend the weekend together. It’s been a hectic year and a weekend in the middle of a three month stretch really helps to break up the “unpleasantness” of being apart. As I mentioned, she flew in Friday afternoon and I was hoping to meet her [...]

Camp K

We took some video last year of the NWSDA race at Camp K. Jessica had a few hours this morning and I walked her through video editing. She took all of the video reduced it to less than two minutes. As she learned, most of the video recorded is crap and can be deleted.

Mornings

Not all of us are morning people. Morning people are those who wake up and all is right with the world. The rest of us need a catalyst to make our day move along smoothly. Jessica is a huge fan of coffee while I need a hot shower to get me going. It doesn’t [...]

It didn’t end well

My invested interest in this season of football is effectively over. My team, the Chicago Bears, had a surprisingly good season despite early predictions. I knew that we still had some holes in our lineup that would cause problems throughout the season. Our largest problem, in my opinion, is a lack of a solid [...]

The new year has begun

Nothing much as happened worth writing about thus far since the year has begun. So, instead, I’ll do a quick recap of things that happened since my last missive.

Jessica and I had a very travel packed trip around the country so that we could be together over the holidays. I drove for [...]

An update of sorts

I’m away from home at yet another training course but this is the last major one and then I’ll be done (for the time being). I should be fully qualified by the time I leave and I’ll be able to actually do my job. I have an epic tome to read, comprehend, and then [...]

About that trip I took

I took a bunch of video and made a video montage. Sorry about all of the bug guts but there was little I could do – those bastards are everywhere.
