Do pancakes have feelings?

This pancake certainly does and it isn't very happy about being eaten.

Pictures from Dick's Outdoor Experience Day

I know I promised these a while ago. Here they are but I was taking them so there are no pictures of me in the kayaks. I did some kayaking at a Club Med on the ocean some years before children and the wading pool just didn't hold the same appeal to me(no, I'm not bitter about not getting a turn, really. Maybe...).


First and foremost, my lovely bride, Sharon:





Bethany, Mistress of the Kayak!

Stephen, Master of the Seven Seas!!

David, a Mighty Sailing Man:



And Joshua, so how many canoes fit into a kayak?

Christmas Cantata

We're starting work on the Christmas Cantata at church already. This time our pastor wants to do the play that goes with the music. Sharon and I have been cast as Mary's parents, Heli and Rachel. Right now we need a Mary and a Joseph and we can do the play. It will be fun to do a play again.

I've been asked to grow my beard out for the play. Yes, I'll post a picture.

The Wonderful world of Work

Well, we had some big changes at work as far as the department structure goes. Our Department Manager had actually been filling two roles Senior MIS Manager and MIS Manager. It was announced that the Business Analyst would be promoted to the MIS Manager position.

I'm happy with the change because I have a good working relationship with the new manager and he likes my work so things are looking up.
