The past few weeks have been ridiculously busy. My new marketing coordinator “didn’t work out,” and so we’ve been one man down for a few weeks. It’s been crazy busy for a while now, and I think I’ve been working 50-60 hour weeks (but that’s nothing new).
With work, SMPS stuff, and some travel we’ve both been very busy.
… and CONGRATULATIONS TO MY WIFEY!!!
She just started her first week at a new job. It’s back to what she wants to do and is in a much better work environment.
So nothing much in store for this weekend - just a relatively quiet weekend at home. Dinner with friends tomorrow and then some work and relaxation.

I haven’t posted anything for a bit, but we’ve been very busy (like usual). A day after we got back from my grandmother’s funeral we went to work for a day, and the very next morning we made our way to New orleans for a few days.
We had a great time eating beignets and crawfish every day and spent the nights wandering around Bourbon street. The weather was warm and quite humid, but at least there were no major storms or hurricanes. There were brief rain storms in the early afternoon, but every night was dry and clear.
Our hotel (sheraton) was right on Canal street and about 2 streets south of Bourbon, right on the border of the French Quarter. We were about a 10 minute walk to Cafe du Monde and the Riverwalk.
We also went to my wifey’s old neighborhood to check out her old house and school. The house was still intact and occupied, but her old school and apartment complex were boarded up. It was kind of depressing. The apartment complex was completely in shambles. The windows were either boarded up or left open to expose the devasted interior. The complex was gated off, but we found an opening where some workers appeared to just get started in doing some work. Damn, this is three years later! Many of the other homes appeared to still have some storm damage. Other homes had lived-in trailers in the front yards and driveways while some were being rebuilt. From our hotel window we could see a few dilapidated buildings.
Overall we had a lot of fun. I drank my share, and we ate some incredible food. We were there for only 2.5 days, but I’m not sure we needed much more than that.
Of course I took some photos!
