Well, on Friday I leave for 4 weeks. This will be the longest period in almost 9 years that Tasha and I have been apart.

For work, we have been working on a design for a plant in Indonesia for the past 18 months and it is time for commissioning. Five us us from our company are going over there for 1-4 weeks to make sure the system starts up right and runs as designed. I am the only one who gets to go for 4 weeks. Most of the time will be spent working, probably even on the weekends, but it should be a fun trip.

The Junkman would have been crackin’ some heads back in the day…

Long lines? Managers that don’t care? Scratched prints? All in one visit?

Below is the email I sent to cinemark.com and the theater GM regarding my recent experience at their new Denton location.

We got an email yesterday from Mark Eells of PhotoLex Photography (our wedding photographer).

He informed us that he has a photography exhibit on display at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore near Lakeline Mall in Austin. He has asked our permission to display the wonderful photo he took of Tasha and Jeff at our wedding during the father-daughter dance.

So, if anyone would like to go by and see the exhibit to see some of his other work, or if you know anyone that has a wedding or other event coming up that might need a photographer, please go visit or pass this information on.

To many, today is just a day to play pranks on friends and coworkers. A day where most people are off guard because April Fool’s day means nothing other than this to them, so most people don’t spend a bunch of time leading up to that day thinking about the perfect prank. Such is not the case with my family….

You see, April Fool’s day is also my birthday, so it on their minds for the couple weeks or so leading up to it. Also, my family if full of tricksters, so I always have to stay on my toes on this day, so as not to fall victim to their premeditated plans. So far today, I haven’t had any jokes played on me, so I figured I would share a couple of my favorite April Fool’s Day stories.
