Over the past week I’ve actually had two different people ask, “What’s happened to the blog?”…. so I guess there are at least two people that read it!

• I started using a “Pure Sleep” the other night.   For those who aren’t familiar with Pure Sleep it’s a mouth guard looking thing that you wear at night to keep from snoring.  It seems to be working, but I woke up the first night at 2:30am from a dream where I was giving a presentation at work and I couldn’t get this big wad of gum out of my mouth…. I ended up taking the pure sleep out finally, but got through the night last night without any issues.
• Speaking of work I moved last week to my new office where I have windows and not nearly the distractions as when I was in the help center.   Much nicer for the concentration.
• I’ve been working on a couple of projects that are being well received by the company.  One is an internal Instant Messaging program that will allow cross company communication and the other is an intranet site.   One part of the intranet site that was revealed on Friday is an RSS aggregator that will pull in news relating to our company AND our competitors so that our execs will have all of the information in one place.  I have to be careful though because it will also pull blogs if I mention the company name…. just have to be careful what I say ;)
• Michael started T-Ball this year and I’m coaching.   First game is this Wednesday…… I’m certainly looking forward to an adventure if nothing else.
• Thank God the Pens are playing well, because the Pirates are just brutalizing my soul.
• I just finished Angels & Demons.   While some of the twists are a little hokey it was quite the page-turner.   I believe I finished all 400+ pages in 4 nights.
• I finished Roots just before that.  I can tell why it won a Pulitzer Prize.   A great book and possibly the longest that I’ve gotten through at 1,000+ pages.   Makes me want to get the mini-series DVD and watch.
• Working on the Sharon Osbourne book now…. While I’m sure it won’t be Pulitzer worthy, again I’m sure it will be at the least, entertaining. 
• This week will mark the 25th anniversary of when I took my motorcycle head-first into a moving car's windshield.   Hard to believe it's been that long.
• Happy Mother's Day to my wonderful mother and to the wonderful mother of my children.
