Quickies

Busy day today in Houston. Had several phone calls / emails regarding how to fix one particular feature of the application we're rolling out at FSMB -- decided to stay simple, not take on additional risk. Jumped from there to a call re: compliance solutions / strategies with Sun. Then back to FSMB deploy issues; plus resource issues -- Curtis needs to get back working to finish SmarTrakker, I need him full time on my project.

Lunch at James Coney Island of 2 cheese Coneys, all the way, chili w/ onions and beans. Afternoon was a blur -- trying to wrap the week on the project, then get to guitar. Worked on some more blues theory / riffs using Aerosmith's Honkin' on Bobo album.

Cooked dinner -- pasta w/ chicken, grape tomatos, onions, spinach, greek basalmic vinegarette. Porter liked it -- so did Katie and I. Put new strings on my Martin acoustic guitar, with Porter's help. Read books to the kids (Mr. Bumble; FrankenFrog; Minnie / Daisy in The Dognapper).

Drank some beer / watched the Astros lose.

I'll pack in the morning to head to Dallas for the Clapton Crossroads Guitar Festival / Show -- should be fun, but will make for a long few days away from the family.
