Monday

My relaxing weekend is now over with, now it is time to take our collective noses and stick them back onto the grindstone to start another fun filled week of doing what it is we do for a living.

First a little weekend recall. Michelle and I spent our Saturday going to Hovatters Zoo in Kingwood. I put some of the pictures up on Facebook, as I'm still learning how to use my new DSLR camera.

Looking at the week ahead, I have a couple of Mandatory Meetings I have to attend, one on Safety and the other on the Morale Subcommittee that I am a member of at work. We are starting to plan our site wide parties at work, this is when I get to meet with the top brass at NETL and help plan things like Christmas Parties and Halloween events. I've been on this committee a little over a year and I do enjoy being a part of this small group of diverse representatives.

Michelle is traveling to Charleston on Thursday to Head Up the Art Walk, where they raise money and gather specifically shoes for the people in need. It gives her a chance once a month for overnight travel for her Job and do something worthwhile. This will be her third month in a row organizing this for her company.

I am scheduled to play Softball tonight and tomorrow night, weather permitting. These will be the last games that I play until I actually return from San Diego due to a couple of Bye weeks and me traveling.

Have yourselves a great day.

Still in Charleston

Here I am still in Charleston but there is light at the end of the tunnel. I'm down here working for my fourth and final day doing field work for RTI, I'm coming home this evening so I get to see my baby this evening.

It's been a nice trip, semi-productive but I would have liked to have seen better productivity. Most of the places I have visited have been back woods gravel roads type places and so far I have encountered some of the nicest people in the world.

Today there is a movie premiere that is of some interest to me. The movie Families Like Yours finally makes its Premiere after a little over a year of trying to get it financed and released. It's a movie about Gay Couples who have children and raise them. Am ex GF of mine and her wife are one of the featured couples and there is a segment on her, Chris and their triplets who are now entering their sophomore years at Cornell University. I'll update everyone when it's fully released and on the net.

Have yourselves a great day today, Michelle I'm coming home.

Still in Charleston

Here I sit last night pre-writing this blog so that I can sleep in a little bit this morning and not have to worry about writing anything.

I know that this picture does not reveal much, especially from this distance. However a year ago this entire shopping plaza (where everything is shit down) was under water due to all the drastic floods that they had in the area last year.

The hotel I'm staying at got lucky, they had water right up to the door but it never made it inside of the building.

My excitement however came last night when I went shopping at a Piggly Wiggly. I have known about them, heck I've seen Driving Miss Daisy a number of times, but this was my first time ever getting the chance to go into one. Now I can say been there and done that, nothing special.

Anyways I'll be in the area all day today and tonight, I'll head back to Morgantown tomorrow night.

Saturday In Charleston

Day two here, yesterday went pretty well but I am anticipating a bigger day today than I had yesterday. 

Most of my billable time was travel time, which doesn't bother me, but I'm here to accomplish a few things. I'm working north of Charleston and I have to say that everyone that I have met have been extremely nice. 

Depending on when I get done today, I'm going to try to find Michelle a wine that she really likes but is only sold in the Southern Part of the state. We have actually traveled here for pretty much the intent and purpose of purchasing it. 

Have yourselves a great day today.
