Update...It's been almost a yeat!

So it's been a while since I've posted anything here.  Most of my posts have been on Facebook, but I shouldn't abandon my good ole Blog.  I'll give you the highlights since my last post, which was around the time of Mickey's birth.

Things sure are a lot busier with two kids.  It's not just twice the work, it's expodential or more.  But we are surviving... Teri was out of work from July 22 until right after Columbus day. 

I was working on a contract for a company called IAI until the first week in August, 2010.  That was the end of the contract.  I wouldn't have taken this contract if I knew it was so short.  That happens, I joined a company at the end of August called SMS Data Products I thought I was going to be at this company for the long term.  But the contract was cut and we all lost our jobs.  This was really bad.  Something good did come out of it, I meet a great friend Toni.  I hope we are friends for a long time.

 Presently I am working a contract for a small company by the name of Alta IT Solutions.  I think the contract is going to end in a couple of weeks, so I have a lot of feelers out to find something else.  I really would like to find a job where I could stay a LONG time.

With the two kids, I have cut back on the concert goings.  But also, not many bands have come around that I am interested in seeing.  I did see Tom Petty last August and Rush in September.  Some pictures are below.


I thought I had pictures of Rush, but I guess I misplaced them.  Both shows were very good. 

We didn't have alot of snow over the winter, which I'm not complaining about.  This spring was pretty typical and I am working on the latest planting of the garden. 


It's nice to have help with the endeavor.

Other then that, I continue to play poker, exclusively at casinos since Full Tilt poker was shut down.  But I do hope to have more involvement with Ante Up magazine as I now thier Delaware/Maryland Ambassador.  It probably means more work for me, but it's something to do.  I'll be publishing 500 words each month in the magazine.

Now that we are up to date, I'll try to post regularly.
