Update and Pictures

Update:

... I have finally developed the skeleton structure of a short story idea. I am cultivating it and working through the story, but I have a ways to go before its finished. At least now I know exactly where it's going. I will enjoy doing this. I have wanted to get kick started on developing some sort of a book, and this is a start. I am really psyched about the story I have developed and look forward to developing it. I may post it here in pieces (it will be long). I have even started looking into how to publish and have found a lot of useful ideas. If you know me at all, you probably guessed that it will focus on paradigm shifts. I may even try a rough draft or two on the blog for any comments. You know, for all you crickets out there to read and comment upon.

... Anyone interested in a 1996 Mustang, give us a call. We have one for sale.

... I've been screaming through books on the Kindle. Just finished number 18 on the year. At least I'm on the final Malcolm Gladwell book. Those books are phenomenal and if I discover another, then my pace will only quicken. Anyone who reads his three books (Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers) will have quite a study in human nature. I actually feel like he has taught me something useful about how we all function. This is the kind of information that can lead to actual change in life for the better and deep understanding of people and how to intensify and deepen interaction. I cannot recommend them any higher.

... Jen and I took vacation last week. We took Jacob to the Aquarium on Monday, to BOUNCE! on Tuesday and then kept him in school the rest of the week. We relaxed, but did not do any traveling beyond Denver. The break was needed, but we are both feeling refreshed.
