Change in the air

Wow, lots of changes in the past week -- changes at work, with new main contact at the client. Changes in travel -- 3 round trips in one week last week (Tulsa, Dallas, Tulsa again). Change in routine of work -- from running / maintaining my project, to lots of pre-sales, drafting proposals, and giving presentations.

Change in cars -- traded the BMW for a Mini!

So lots of change -- but change is good. It's an opportunity to re-dedicate to things that work, try new things, and head in new directions. That's what I've always liked about my job - the chance to try new things and work with new challenges.

Over the weekend we spent a lot of time together as a family hanging around the house, eating out at some favorite places, and enjoying the great weather. I also took Katie and the boys on joy-rides around the neighborhood in the new car. The boys love it!! Katie thinks it's small, but seems otherwise OK with it - heck, it's my car, so she doesn't really care... She's always generally supportive of things that make me happy...

And we had a chance to plan out how we're going to spend spring break -- head to Austin for a few days; then to San Antonio for a few, then home for a few, then to the beach. Then it's Easter Sunday.

So, good stuff keeping me busy. Lots of work this week, but also time Thurs/Fri in Houston.

On a side note, heard today that my Dad had surgery to treat esophagitis. I had heard from Myra that he needed it and was planning on going in sometime in April. I had considered calling him to get the details and trying to head that way to help him out, if he wanted it, or needed it. Anyway, no need for that now. I called him this evening and he didn't sound too great -- long day for him, and still some discomfort. Hope it works, though, and that he has some sense of relief. He's my Dad, what can I say...
