Catching back up

Long time since last update -- looking back over the weeks I can clearly see I had a lot going on, but didn't really feel that I had much to 'say' about it, I guess.

The weekend after Father's Day, Katie and I took off to Las Vegas for a little one-on-one time away from it all. The idea was to just spend time relaxing and pampering -- mostly my way of saying THANKS to Katie for all the hard work and support she gives me and the boys. We stayed at the Hard Rock and really had a nice time hanging out at the pool and enjoying good food. Katie had a spa morning when we got there, and we treated ourselves to shows each night (Penn and Teller on Sunday; We Will Rock You on Monday).

Beyond that, I've just been working hard and trying to watch baseball when I can. At work, I've been playing a lead role in our IBM content management practice, and that has kept me busy in front of clients and prospects -- and writing lots of proposals -- for the past few weeks. As for travel, I spoke at an event we hosted in Austin, but that was just a quick up and back road trip. I spent some time in Tulsa and Arkansas one week, Dallas for a few days here and there. Spending much more time in Houston, though, and that's a blessing.

This weekend, Katie and the boys are up in Nacadogches visiting her sister and to see our niece Jennifer in a play. I'm hanging around the house for the most part. I've got a ticket to the Astros game tomorrow afternoon, so I'll spend some time there at the ball park. Otherwise, just messing around is all I have on the weekend schedule.
