Oh how much fun it would be to return to Germany for a visit. Hey you two, imagine my suprise when I stopped by the old site and saw that it was still up! then imaging that on top of that, you two were still posting?! I have not gone back and read all of your posts, just the last few but it is so cool to see you two here in our land.

I bring you greetings from sunny, then rainy, then sunny, then rainy, then sunny, then rainy california. Adam, I have forgotten who's it in phone tag, but I am going to guess it's me. and Corky, how the heck are you?

I am in the final of my last production. All Shook Up is the musical and after this one I will be focusing on Multimedia productions. Movies, news broadcasts, music generation, editing and creation of film products. I'll be only teaching Multimedia, advanced Multimedia and Video production. I'll be unloading my mishmash schedule or French, theatre, technical theatre and multimedia and just focus on the one. It will make life so much easier and offer me more time with family.

I notice that while post here you both do, there is some lag time so I'll check back in a week or two to see if you have stopped by. a very pleasent suprise.

Chow for now

Good to see you're doing well, Kevin! I haven't been out your way since the time we got to have that great lunch together!  I'm still mulling over ideas for good sand wheels. . .and if I ever get enough spare time to put my 3D printer online, I may even make a few test parts in plastic to see what works.

Adam, I'll try and make sure I'm in town next time you come up this way too!  Of course, if like works out like usual, we'll both be busy as hell and wondering where the time went!  LOL

Bump to keep things living. . .

The regular bump. . .

Hey there. :)

How goes it?

I'm off to Turkey for a bit, after a short job trip to Honolulu.  Life is pretty good for the moment.  How is all on your end?  Do you have anything sending you up this way anytime soon?

I'm hoping.  There are competing priorities that may delay Phase 2 until early next year.  Rest assured that if I'm coming your way, I will give you a heads up.

If you have any reason to come near New Orleans, please let me know.

Well, I'm back and it was both fun and horrible--but aren't all vacations like that?  Here's the monthly bump!

Welcome back.  Another trip to Turkey?

Bump

Another bump back for you, Adam.  I went to Turkey during August, right after the job sent me to Hawaii for three days.  I only had two days between the trips to get everything ready. . .since my wife is really not the best choice for packing expertise. LOL  Of course, that also meant that I had to deal with something like 13 hours of time zone shift within a single week.

The older I get, the more those marathon trips take it out of me.

The work I did in VA earlier this year just went into production and our client is very pleased.  There's more work there next year.  At this point though, I'm slotted to do work for a large banking client in the NY area beginning in January.  I honestly thought that you and I would have the opporunity to meet F2F sooner.

Regardless, happy Thanksgiving ... Adam :)

Same here on the F2F, Adam.  We do seem to keep missing each other a lot--and all due to external stuff, which makes it a bit comical in a Keystone Cops kind of way.  :)  I hope you and yours have a peaceful holiday season!

Hey there.  Looking forward to some peace AFTER the holidays. Went to visit my in-laws in NE Arkansas this past week and am now back in New Orleans through Jan 1.  Found spectacular Memphis BBQ on the way back so we have a fantastic and unusual holiday dinner on the slate.

One of my closest friends lives in DC.  He's also my optometrist and cousin.  I'll make it to your area some time next year.  Perhaps, I'll even bring the kids that direction at some point this Summer.  They've never been and are at the age where they should appreciate the many museums, monuments, and Occupy protests.  I'll stay in touch and hopefully we can plan to collide.

Here's hoping that you and yours have a great holiday ... Adam

Bump

In reply to Shih Nacunya (msg #125):

Figures that this year my next evil work project is starting to ramp up.  Hopefully, I'll be around here when you get here for your visit (there is a high likelihood of that, but the work thing does have the possibility of affecting things).

Bump while grinding

Bu dum bump

Strange bumps a knockin'

Living the Jersey City dream!

Time to do some wandering. . .now I just have to figure out where. . .

Is all well on your end of the universe, Shih?

Hey there :)

Still no electricity here in New Orleans.  Using PC battery sparingly.  Down from 9 hours to 4.

Family is fine.  Sleep is elusive for all since it's around 85F inside. Mosquitoes are coming out in force, so can't open windows.  Very ready for the power company to do their jobs.  Cooking stuff in freezer to salvage what we can.

Father has respiratory issues.  He ended up in the hospital on Day 1 of Isaac.  He's doing great.  We must have electricity for him to be able to come home.  His doctor is running tests associated with some hip issues, which is allowing everything to work.

My PC just ran a CHKDSK at start-up, suggesting that my NTFS was corrupt.  It wasn't, but it gave me a scare.  This heat and humidity can't be good for the internals.

Letting everything heat up and dry out.  New Orleans is miserable without AC!

How goes it with you?

Best ... Adam once known as Shih

And here as well ...

Things here have been pretty peaceful at home, but the job has been grabbing me by the scruff of the neck and shaking vigorously!  I haven't had much time to do anything in nearly a month.  At least it is beginning to drop back down in tempo again. . .of course, with my job that is usually just the lull before the storm!
