Checking in from Sin City...
Howdy folks,Well, I think both Stacey and I are glad to have said "good riddance" to 2004. We lost my Dad in the early part of the year, and I lost my job in November (a week before Thanksgiving), forcing us to sell our home.
Still, we had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year, celebrating Carolyn's birthday as well.
Here are some pics from the holidays (click on the images for a larger version, they're big):
 Carolyn getting her first real play in the snow. We've had quite a bit of snow this year (heck, we had avalanche warnings in the local mountains this week), and we've had the chance to take Carolyn up to the mountains for a couple of visits to the snow. |
 Carolyn finds out that snow is cold! This particular day was just after a fresh snowfall of fluffy, powdery snow, the kind you can blow off your hand in a puff. Where I took her she was able to make the first footprints, and she didn't want to leave. Her hands and feet were freezing, but she just wanted to keep playing. |
 One of Carolyn's gifts was this great set of a table and two chairs that are perfect for her to draw on, have a snack, etc. |
Since the first of the year, we've made some changes. First, the house was sold, and we've moved into a smaller, but quite nice rental that actually suits us perfectly. If you need the address, get hold of us and we'll pass it along. Our phone numbers remain the same.
I am working on a few of my own projects, but also went to school to learn a new set of skills - dealing poker. Poker is becoming huge here in Las Vegas, with new large rooms opening up every month. And, interestingly enough, they make about what I was making at my last job. So, to take advantage of the growth, I enrolled in a school that teaches poker, among other games. I completed the course today, and will be auditioning for new positions next week.
Stacey and I can still be reached at the same email addresses, so feel free to drop us a line, or click below to add a comment to this entry. More updates to come as news develops!
