The rain started about 6pm tonight and I got wet when I went out about 8pm to watch my boss play in a pick-up hockey game and take some photos of the game. Although they were playing in a rink, … Continue reading
I love the day after a holiday at work, especially when other agencies or partner groups are closed in the midst of a 4-day holiday like Thanksgiving. Today I actually had an empty e-mail inbox by 11am. Of course more … Continue reading
Well, my cold left me finding it difficult to concentrate enough to write much of anything. As a result, other than a walk down to the lobby to get some turkey, dressing and candied yams, I spent the rest of … Continue reading
I have a lot to be thankful for. I have a loving wife who makes my life absolutely fantastic; there are a lot of people who have no one or worse, have someone who makes them miserable. I have a … Continue reading
At least 50% of the people in my office are sick. In between the noise of phones ringing, printers running and TVs tuned to the all-news channels are the constant sounds of coughing, sneezing, sniffling and moaning. I have been … Continue reading

Around mid-morning Monday the word came down that we were having a Thanksgiving Day party on Wednesday and whoever wanted to take part could donate a nominal amount and bring a beverage or dessert to share with the catered main … Continue reading
Sunday morning I got up early and drove to downtown Jefferson City to take some photographs. I like going early as I get to use the early light in composing my photos, and I like to do it on Sunday … Continue reading
I spent Saturday just relaxing in the hotel room, reading, writing and watching some TV. The “Western” genre of TV shows and movies has never been one of my favorites. My dad loved watching “Bonanza”, “Gunsmoke”, “Rawhide” and others, but … Continue reading
So I had some meetings to go to again today and since we were opening an assistance center near one of my meeting locations, I decided that I would drop by and see how things were going there on opening … Continue reading
Spent yesterday driving to St. Louis for some meetings and then back to Jefferson City. I had hoped to see the Arch and take some photos, but ran out of time. It’s really a shame when your work gets in … Continue reading
Greetings from the state capital of Missouri, Jefferson City, which is named after our third President, Thomas Jefferson. In addition to being nicknamed “The Show-Me State”, Missouri is also called “The Gateway To The West.” It snowed here lightly last … Continue reading
A busy day of running errands and getting things done here before my scheduled departure for Missouri tomorrow morning. I’ll be leaving Orlando at 10am and arriving in St. Louis at 11:30am local time. Then I have a 2 hour … Continue reading
