About me: My Pop is working with these guys in the video below on a new invention. I'm so proud of my Pop for being a part of the solution to our future!! GO POP!!
I love to think and solve the worlds problems. My greatest strength is my ability to listen, but I have been known to forget to ask questions and blabber on for hours about the universe. There is a point to just about everything I say and do...sorry about that, it get's annoying. I really do care what people think, but I try not to take it personally. I strive to make my contribution for a better world and think that everyone else should care just as much as I do. Some people care more than me. Those are my role models.
I took the "Red Pill" several years ago, but I still find myself walking in the Matrix glimpsing the insanity that has seemed to become human nature. I want to be free and live in a world where people realize that to change the insanity, we need to include eachother rather than isolate ourselves. So...yes, I am what they call upbeat, positive and hopeful. But really, as much as I like to think and search for the ever elusive truth; as much as I care about the world and want to make a difference; when it all comes down to it, "This agression will not stand man"..."The Dude Abides" ;)
is resting her headache? is your headache tired? does it need a nice warm pillow?
How are things down there? Pretty sweet up here, Revenue is really a different aspect of mapping for GIS but I am getting a chance to grow a new department and that is fun!
Thank you. My son is pretty excited about being a big brother. He's been so helpful; he helps me out of the car, opens all doors, won't let me bend down for anything, and told me that if I teach him, he'll change all the diapers for me. He's a sweetheart. My new little one will be here on wednesday. He's 10 lbs, so the dr feels it'll be safer to have a c-section. I'm nervous, but I know everything will be fine.
How are you? Hopefully all is well your way. I love your haircut, cute as can be. Take care. Thanks for keeping in touch; always nice to hear from you.
He will understand totally! Okay so when are two love doves going to be here? Please feel free to come over anytime-we're just going to be starting cooking at around 4 and god knows I love an audience and an excuse to drink some wine while I cook! Can't wait!!!
Wow, I can't believe it, we get to meet!! Okay so Matt is a GIS guy and a bit of social snail, plus going to feel overwhelmed with the Hoover crowd, so do me a favor and chat at him all about ArcView and coordinate units and spatial design techniques...all that garbage :) His poor wife just doesn't understand its cool factor! Anything you particularly love to eat or drink I can provide? You two are both also welcome to stay over-we'll have at the very least the big blow-up mattress available should we imbibe liberally, if Jess and hub take the big futon couch. Can't wait!!
Do it! We have some friends staying with us now, but there is always room. We have another couple of friends coming for dinner on Sunday and we would love to have you! Call Me if you really want a beach weekend! Do you have my number?
Hi Annie! I was wasted in that picture ( girls sun glasses). One of these days I'll create a profile page like yours. Super cool! I hope all is good. Take care, Will
