I’m leaving bring and early in the morning for Pax River, MD again.  I’ve got a couple of meetings out there Tuesday and Wednesday. Should be back sometime Thursday afternoon. 

Just got back from Pt. Mugu, CA. Went out to the naval air station there for a meeting on how we’ll be flight testing the system I’m working on. Nothing really exciting out there. A little bit of good seafood, a very, very long meeting, lovely L.A. traffic and two very long […]

Let’s see, things to do before the end of the year:

Business trip to California next week
1st anniversary November 27
See Riverdance and Wicked at the Fox Theatre.
Travel to Florida for Christmas. Go to Disneyworld, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM Studios, Midieval Times, Cocoa Beach, and get dives in while we’re at it.

Less than two […]

Yesterday, I purchased our plane tickets to Orlando for Christmas. We’ll be in Orlando from Christmas Eve on thru New Year’s Day. I also reserved our rental car. All that’s really left is to book our dives and purchase DisneyWorld tickets. We’ve had our condo reserved for over a year now. […]

Mica and I made the short trip out to Rolla, MO yesterday for Midwest Scuba’s 2005 Scuba Carve. Things didn’t go quite as well as we had planned.
The rules are basically this: no work can be done on the surface except for one stab into the pumpkin to help it […]

I put the money down for our 2nd year anniversary trip next fall.

I’m finally back from Ft. Wayne, IN. It was a long, uneventful trip. The one highlight was, I got to take Monica with me. She spent yesterday lounging around the hotel, watching TV, reading and swimming while I spent the day in a meeting across the street. The meeting was at […]

Monica seems to have loved her scuba class. She’s so excited about getting to dive next weekend. I’m looking forward to sitting out in the sun with some cold sodas, lots of snacks and a few good books.
Speaking of books, I just finished reading Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale. It was […]

Mica starts her scuba classes tomorrow. She seems really excited, which has been getting me more and more excited about it.
Especially since I just told her what we’re doing for our second anniversary next year. We’ll probably get dives in at least 2, maybe three of those ports. I’m […]

The meeting today went well. Too well. The last 6 weeks have been non-stop stress in trying to get the necessary attendees together and in agreement on the topics. But they all came together today and they were prepared and we finished an 8 hour meeting in just over 4.5 hours. So we all headed […]
