Where have I been? Where am I going?
I guess it has been awhile since I last blogged. I just do not have the discipline that some other bloggers have. Then again, maybe I am just busy. Work has been totally crazy this year. We have a bunch of projects going on, as well as some new contracts in the wings that I am reviewing. This limits my free time to do personal stuff on the computer, along with the fact that we now are monitoring and blocking most non-business web sites. That is OK by me as it helps me focus more on the many tasks at hand during my work day. SO, the last time I wrote, I spoke of my Lasik surgery. I have to say that things went quite well and I am 20/15 in both eyes. I also went snowboarding the following week after the surgery without any issues. I am very happy that I did this. Life without glasses is very enjoyable. I really like waking up and being able to see things in the morning, such as my wife. It is a real simple pleasure for me.
So, in other news, I am getting ready for a week-long trip Las Vegas. Yes, that is right, Sin City. Yet, I doubt that there will be any major gambling in my plans. I am actually going to spend 4 days climbing at Red Rocks with a personal instructor. I will be learning things such as trad climbing, which is where you actually place anchors as you climb, lead climbing, and other advanced climbing techniques. the best thing of all is that my awesome wife actually suggested that I go without her. Yes, she actually suggested it as she is so busy with work and school, on top of the fact that I have 4 weeks of vacation time left before April 1. This is one of the many reasons why I love my wife. So, back to Vegas, I will be staying at the Excalibur Resort and Casino on the strip and climbing from 8am to 6pm-ish every day. Now you say that this leaves a lot of free time, but after a day outside hiking and climbing, a shower and dinner will be the extent of my activities. It should be an awesome trip.
Now, about the Oscars, I am not one for award shows, as I feel that they are often rigged, but I hope that Jamey Foxx wins for "Ray." This was an awesome movie and one where I really believed i was watching Ray Charles. That does not happen to me very often, but it did with this film. For this reason, I hope he wins.
Got to go....

Have a great time in Vegas, Perl. I'm not a gambler either, and I know how I feel after a day at the race track, so I understand the shower and dinner and sleep ritual. But do try to get to the Bellagio to see the fountain going off. It's very cool.
