Charlie Bit My Finger - Again !

This is a very funny clip that Kyle, my nephew, passed on to us. It cracked me up. Apparently it's become so popular that other people have been creating videos of their own and reenacting this one.

Get ready for Christmas! It's only a day away.

The site is getting hammered. A lot of people are doing this now. It's almost viral. Bare with any delays. It's worth it. :)

Big News

So I got up early today (5:30) to shovel snow. Yeah, we got a little snow last night. Not much, maybe an inch. Anyway, I had a little extra time and decided to post the big news.

No, Shelly is not pregnant. :) I am, however, taking a new job. After 11 years with the state I have decided to leave and take a new position with Delaware Transit. The decision was really tough because I like my job. Additionally, I have a strong bond with the people I work with.

After the deliberation and conversations with Shelly (as well as family and friends) I decided the best move would be to accept the new job. The pay is better ($8000 more) and there is more room for growth within the company. Unless I desire to be a supervisor, which at this point I don't, I really can't get promoted any further within my division. So, I'm kinda stuck just getting nominal raises at this point.

Our division does a limited amount of work for DART (Delaware Transit) now. We maintain some of the equipment in the buses. While over there one day I happened to find out about a new position they were creating. I put in for it and they ended up hiring me. It was dumb luck really. I wasn't even really looking for another job.

There are a couple projects I'm working on now, so I asked if I could start in January. They didn't have a problem with it. My first day is 1.7.2008.

Thanksgiving Feast

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm over a week behind, but that's nothing new. This year was Thanksgiving at my parents. It was a fantastic feast and everyone had a full belly by the end of the night.

That weekend Cade, Ken, Mom, and I did a day of hiking and caching to work off all that food we ate. We saw some more really neat places in our own backyard that I never knew existed. Mom brought some yummy turkey leftovers for lunch and we had a makeshift picnic while we were out. I think everyone had a really great time.

I have some other big news to big up, but I'll save that for another post soon. :)

In the meantime, there are some new pictures over at Flickr if you feel so inclined. They roll over to page 2. Enjoy!
