One year ago today, early this morning at 12:52 a.m. - the best thing that every happened to us was born. Abbie Loo - what a cool kid. I never thought life could be so much fun as a Dad. I knew it would be good, but I never thought it would be this much fun!
I've had quite a ride these last couple of days. I started my new project yesterday, and spent the evening at the Monday Night Football game at Mile High Stadium. A buddy and I had great seats thanks to another friend's season tickets - 6th row, 45 yard line. It was awesome - too bad The Broncos lost (24-23) - but at least it was a good game. Tonight, my companion from last night got (free) club-level seats to see The Colorado Avalanche at The Pepsi Center. It was another great game - went into overtime and resulted in a 4-4 tie. Professional sporting events sure are a good time...
What a great weekend. On Friday afternoon, we took Abbie to the Denver Children's Museum for some trick-or-treating. Checkout the pictures of our little Winnie the Pooh. On Saturday, we had a Birthday Party (1st one!) for Abbie - and here's more pictures for your viewing pleasure.
Today is my last day at my current contract - my new contract starts on Monday. This has to be one of my best "last days" in quite some time. I gave my notice a month ago, and everyone has been super nice ever since. To show you why I think it's a good day, let's review some other last days I've had:
Any good last day stories out there?
Abbie turns 1 year old next Wednesday - a birthday so good that they've decided to release The Matrix: Revolutions on the same day! We're having a party this weekend (yes, a keg will be there for the papas) and I don't know what to get her for her birthday. So I'm asking all you Dads out there - what was the coolest gift you got your kid(s) for their 1st birthday? When I say cool - I mean to say that they thought it was cool. Of course, if Mom thought it was cool - that counts too (esp. since it seems to be just as much for her as for Abbie).
One good quality of a company - they keep your computer up to date. The company I work for bought me a new computer today. Dell Dimension 8300 P4 2.6 HT 80G. This will replace my 1.5 Dell Dimension 8100 - XP Pro, which (with cygwin) continues to me my favorite development environment. We're giving my Dell and Julie's Dell (that I bought for $200 from eDeploy) to charity. I also have an old 300 MHz Compaq Presario that's slow as slugs - I'm going to throw it away and not place that burden on someone else (it serves as a patio umbrella stand right now).
Found Winer: RSS Weather. Our local news says snow this weekend, RSS Weather just says it's going to be cold. Lows in the 20s, highs in the 50s. Today - mid 80s.
