It actually helps

When you add content to your website to keep people interested. Let’s recap the last couple of weeks.

I had a trip earlier this month that took me to the South Pacific. The weather was amazing and for the first time I got lucky – our jet broke. I spent two free days on [...]

Monster having a little fun

We caught the monster in a good mood – good moods are quickly followed by really bad moods and sleep so it’s all a matter of having a camera in the right place at the right time. I’m home (obviously) and I’m enjoying every minute of it.

A new year

So, we’ve finished all of our work, save for loading our bags and we’re simply waiting to go. The New Year celebrations weren’t too shabby. They had a local band play (and they did a damn good job) followed up by the DJ. We played some cards, drank our customary two beers, and laughed [...]

It’s definitely not the same

I know that Christmas is right around the corner but it sure doesn’t feel like it. Here’s why

1. You can’t see my building from space (it isn’t properly decorated) 2. I haven’t eaten 26,000 extra calories worth of sweets this month 3. Jessica and I aren’t working as a dynamic duo in the [...]

The boy is finding his voice

Jessica sent me a video today of our little boy having a conversation. I’m a big fan of it – you might have to be related to us to appreciate it.

I’ve been busy

I don’t know exactly how long I’ve been gone but it feels like it’s been a while. Sure, I could look at the calendar in the bottom left corner of my screen and do some simple math (my peripheral vision has betrayed me and it’s two weeks) but it makes the first two lines [...]

I promised photos

And I have one – there are thousands of others (literally) but I’m just going to upload just one.

Let’s hope I didn’t forget anything

I arrived home at 1130pm on the 21st of August from a trip to Afghanistan. Jessica woke up at 6am to go to the bathroom and woke me by yelling… “uh John, I think my water broke” and I responded “are you sure you didn’t pee your pants” with her responding “uh, pretty sure [...]

So, we had a baby

He arrived a little early on the 22nd of August at 2234hrs. He was 6lbs 12oz and 20.5 inches tall.

This is the first opportunity I’ve had to post something. I’ll do something more legitimate later.

If only I got frequent flyer miles

I’ve been working quite a bit and by work I mean flying people and cargo all across the planet. I haven’t made it to across the Pacific ocean yet but I’ve crossed the Atlantic quite a few times in the past few weeks. Since I started this job and really started flying (about 2 [...]
