Rain, and lots of it

We just weathered a massive rainstorm last night!  It rained a total of 5.4 inches on our house, with 90% of that coming between 3am and 7am.  It was wild!  I collected a few of the photos I took on my iPhone and put them in a gallery.  Check it out:


When I got up in the morning, I discovered my weather station gear wasn't posting to the internet.  I fixed it and got data from 4:30ish on.



Peace, Love and Dry Days Ahead,

December Update

Sorry it has been so long since I've written!

November was a very busy time both at work and at home.  At work we had not even recovered from the General Election coverage before we we waist deep in sweeps.  At home, we were rapidly trying to prepare the house for our Thanksgiving celebration which turned out great for all 26 of us (yup!).  I also went to a Men's Retreat with our church and had a good and deeply meaningful  time there.

As this month begins, it seems to be a month of changes.  My boss announced that this will be his last month with KITV.  We will be going into the new year without a manager until they decide to hire another one or dissolve our department, and roll it into others.  There has been no mention of what direction it may be, but corporately, they have not replaced the Creative Services Director after he left 5 months ago.  I don't feel like I am in any danger of losing my job, but no doubt changes are in my future.  It should be exciting, no doubt.

We are also very nearly out a debt.  When we finally make that last payment we are looking forward to redirecting that money elsewhere.  We have fallen behind in other arenas and we will still have some catch up to do in areas of maintenance and savings and the like.  Looking at the current economy I feel very blessed to have a secure job and be debt free.

We are looking forward to spending some time with our Maui family during the holidays.  We may even be taking the Superferry too, which I am looking forward to.  I'll be sure to let all of you know what that is like.  It will be so good to spend time with both our families and eat and sleep and read and rest.

That's enough of an update for now.  If you have any questions let me know by email.   I'm not very good at keeping in touch and sometimes I need a nudge. 

Wishing everyone Peace, Love and Joy during this holiday season,

Rich
