Christmas was a bit different this year.  Originally we had planned on heading down to the Twin Cities to visit family.  However with the blizzard rolling in, we made the call to stay here in Jamestown.  Shane and his family made the same call, so we had a Christmas event here.  It was rather fun, [...]

Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday. Safe travels to all of those moving about the country.

Well the weather was just looking too questionable, so Jennie and I made the call to not head to MN for Christmas.  For those who don’t know, both of our families live in Minnesota.  This tends to make things interesting as we try to visit everyone we can when we make the 6hrs to visit.  [...]

Well deviantArt has released a new gallery feature.  It is pretty cool actually.  I have been testing it a while in beta, but the final version is pretty slick.  For subscribers you can have multiple portfolios, which one might do if they were showing these to clients.  I just have the one as my main [...]

Well the weekend is finally here for me. Looking forward to getting a little break from life in Jamestown. Not that it is going bad of course, but the fact that it is looking more like a marathon than a summer coming up. So a nice calm before the storm. We have been quite busy [...]

Well Ede beat me to the punch, but mom had an awesome article about her in the paper today. Schools Push and Get Results A couple of teachers at a high school in the suburbs of Minneapolis, MN decided that they’d seen enough of their students fail and not go on to college. Instead of [...]

Well we made some great progress tonight! We met with some of the family that arrived tonight and had dinner. Then Ann, Shane, Trav, and Jess helped us start getting the various projects ready for the reception. We got a lot more done than we expected, so there is that much less to do tomorrow [...]
