Hoots, man!

Getting close to the second annual trip to Pleasanton for the Jockfest at the Caledonin Club's Highland Games. We're heading up to the east bay next weekend to hang out and watch men in kilts play bagpipes, throw big lumps of metal, and look like they just walked off the set of Braveheart. Should be fun! They have the biggest Mass Pipes and Drums this side of the Atlantic (or so they say) with about 800 people playing together. It's a great way to close the event. I've got my kilt out and ready to go, complete with a family tartan t-shirt I pikced up the Highland Games in Vista a short while back so everyone will know who I am :-)

Time for an update

So I've been remiss in posting lately (it looks like I've averaged about one post a month for the past 6 or so . . .) but I have been busy! Honest!
Work has picked up and I am almost enjoying the hour long commute each way to a client site in Irvine. We incorporated last month as a tax strategy as we are now both self employed and it is showing savings already although there has been considerable stress involved in getting everything set up. But we're getting there.
A couple of our friends have bought new road bikes so we can go riding together, and it looks like they may both be joining us for the TNT Solvang program - this could turn out to be the funnest program, like, ever! The rides are short and relatively slow, but it's early days yet :-)
